Despite Zsa Zsa Gabor's failing health, Prince Frederic Prinz von Anhalt threw an anniversary party Sunday to celebrate their 25 years of marriage.
The party at the couple’s Bel-Air home was reportedly attended by celebrities such as Phyllis Dyler, Frank Stallone and Quincy Jones, as well as several media outlets.
Von Anhalt noted he’d been criticized for throwing the bash: “People attack me for this and say, ‘How can you do it for a sick woman?’ ”
“Look,” he said, “my wife is 94 years old. She should have everything she wants and should have everything large. This big party is not for the guests, not for the media, not for me -- this big party is for Zsa Zsa.”
In a video posted on his Facebook page, Von Anhalt told KABC-TV that being married to Gabor for 25 years was something he “really [wanted] to celebrate.”
“It’s 25 years with Zsa Zsa Gabor. It’s a big thing, it’s a huge thing, and I made it,” Von Anhalt said. “So many husbands didn’t make it -- they only made it a year or two. I made it 25 years so I must have done something right.”
Gabor, 94, and Von Anhalt, 68, were married Aug. 14, 1986. Gabor had been married eight times before.
Gabor has been in and out of the hospital in the last year after suffering several health problems stemming from a broken hip. In January, one of her legs was amputated after an infection.
Von Anhalt said his wife was wearing a small tiara and her favorite pink dress at the party, which she watched from her bed.
