Her parents were Prince Karl Anselm von Thurn und Taxis and his wife, his cousin Auguste von Württemberg . She married the Polish-Lithuanian prince Hieronim Wincenty Radziwiłł in Regensburg on December 31, 1775 .
Her liaison with the composer and pianist Jan Ladislav Dussek , who had been Kapellmeister of Radziwiłł's older brother, Prince Karol Stanisław Radziwiłł , at the family palace in Nieśwież , caused a sensation . On January 17, 1784, she and Dussek fled from there across the Prussian border to Tilsit . Karol Stanisław Radziwiłł reported on this in a letter on January 25th. From there they traveled on to Hamburg , from where the princess went to Regensburg alone and was reconciled with her husband.
In her second marriage she married a Mr. Kazanowski around 1795, in her third marriage around 1797 Count Ostorog.
