Hofburg Ball Date Called Off for Simone Lugner and Prince Marcus

Lugner says she will judge him herself despite negative reports about his past.

Overview

  • The planned joint appearance at Vienna's Hofburg ball this weekend was canceled, with Lugner calling it "the wrong time."
  • No replacement date has been set, and both have left the reasons for the cancellation and the status of their connection undefined.
  • The pair recently met in Kitzbühel and later appeared in Vienna, where Marcus presented roses and knelt outside St. Stephen's Cathedral.
  • Online critics highlight Marcus' history of scandals, excesses and allegations of animal cruelty, which they see as clashing with Lugner's vegan, animal‑protection image.
  • Lugner has said she did not Google him, avoids his contentious social posts, and wrote on Instagram that "people change."
