The Next ABC Bachelor Is A Prince -- Really
Tuesday May 16, 2006
The bachelorettes who are filming the upcoming season of The Bachelor have literally found their prince. ABC has announced that the new Bachelor is Prince Lorenzo Borghese. I hadn't heard of the Borghese family, but after reading the announcement, I did a little digging online and found out that they are considered to be royalty in Italy. As for Lorenzo, ABC describes him as a cosmetics entrepreneur. But they didn't mention that his cosmetics line is for dogs, not people. Maybe canine cosmetics didn't sound sexy enough. Prince Lorenzo's company, which is called Royal Treatment, has a website that I'm sure will be flooded with traffic after ABC's announcement. Visit the website here.

Dog products? If he is really a prince, why start a line of dog products? He must love animals.
Prince? How about a royal a**hole.
Please…he’s the opposite of the frog who turns into the prince…he’s the prince who turns into the frog.
What a ROYALLY PATHETIC attempt to raise your own profile and profits. I can’t imagine the pathetic girl who will fall “in love” with this loser prince.
I think I saw this A-HOLE on QVC selling his stinky doggy care products…the Borghese family is probably trying to disown this embarrassment right now.
Talk about a sell out! This guy is clearly only on the show to pitch his “stinky” products. he is not in it for love. Every rose has its thorn. This guy is a pathetic transparent cheesy american self promoter…does he even speak italian!!????
Ladies beware! Do you really want to marry a guy who wears purple ties?
Wow, I think he’s really cute.
Love the hair! He has great style
calling all dumb american girls….cute? nice hair? Good style? this guy is a total sham. clearly he has a stylist and he is going bald-thats a comb over….”The Donald” style. this show has reached an all time low–and so have all of you that watch it week to week.
Wow..sounds like this new bachelor is getting a good deal of attention already. Wonder how many comments are from exes..looks like this installment could be entertaining..
Lorenzo is a class act. Who ever he picks will be lucky! Just dont get emotional on national TV!
can’t believe you never heard of princess marcella borghese products. thought her makeup was a household name. isn’t that the same royal fam?
Why are these bachelors always good “financial” catches … the heir to the wine throne, the aspiring actor with a successful actor brother, a doctor, now the “prince” …. will we ever see the high school gym teacher or the grocery store check out clerk, or the small town cop, or the hair sylist? Are the women you ultimately choose so shallow that they need the illusion of a man who is “financially” successful in order to commit to the bachelor process? Even if they don’t know who the man is going into this, I’m sure they believe it will be a great financial catch, because they always are. The men are never your everyday Joe who is struggling like the majority of American people are today.
I don’t know what is wrong with you people but I went to college with lorenzo and he was one of the nicest, down-to-earth guys. I was never friends with him so I have no reason to lie. I only knew him because our school was very small. You guys sound like a bunch of jealous fools!
I agree with Kate. I want to see a fat, not-so-financially-stable bachelor. A real person who has no stylist, and some real bachlorettes.
How tall is he…anyone know??
He is the brother of Skip who sells with his mom Amanda on HSN, they sell bath products -Perlier and Elaria on HSN. They seem very nice and are on every month they seem to be very popular with their item on HSN
When are we going to see a Afro-American Bachelor? I think its about time!!
I also went to Rollins with lorenzo and he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
I just wish I was a year older so I could be on the show.
His grandmother was Princess Marcella Borghese, founder of Borghese cosmetics.
His mother, Princess Amanda Borghese & his brother Prince Scipone Borghese sell bath & body products on HSN.
anyone works to make a living is respectable, no matter what they do, what they sell (of course, I don’t mean drugs or porn movies….), don’t understand why so many people have negative perception about him, pet business has huge market. Lot of men are in the toilette paper or female products business, would you mind if he is one of the best of that industry?
Looking forward to the series. They may be royal but they are working royals and making a contribution. We have many celebs that do very little work, demand a lot of money and attention and the public falls all over them.
I am an ex m/up artist and have used the Borghese family’s products (Perlier)for YEARS.(they have been around over 100 years) I had my favorites in the cosmetics line and the fragrance “Borghese”. I also know they are very nice people making a difference. Jealous people can be so NASTY!
I don’t understand such meanness and negativity for another person. I commend him on his decision. A person who chooses their live path for love of a beloved pet is a person with heart,soul and humanity. Too bad we don’t have more like that. He seems nice, is devoted to his cause and is very good looking, If I were younger I would be 1st in line.
Hmmm… Not really sure what type of royalty he WAS considered; however, he will be considered royalty after all the publicity that ABC gave him for his product. If he was a person that truly fell in love it would matter, doubtful that he will though
After watching the first episode, this guy is by far the worst bachelor yet. I will give it to ABC for promoting him as some kind of BS prince. By the way ladies, I’m a prince too, I though everyone was.
I am just a little confused, I guess I never heard of him and may need to do a little more research, but how can he be an “Italian Prince” and can’t speak Italian very well — if at all? If you wanted to really have some suave guy to use romantic Rome as the next “Bachelor’s Backdrop”, there are tons of successfulfirst generation Italian/American men who at least can speak the language and even look the part. I am sure Prince Lorenzo is a great guy, he is cute, and of course, the money will always attract gorgeous women, but to portray a handsome Italian Prince, I am a bit thrown off. Is it just me???
Erica is a great example of the fact the money can’t buy you poise or class. I live in the neighborhood with Erica and as a matter of fact walk my dog daily by her house. Her dad is a well known plastic surgeon in Houston and a few years back was known for doing most of the implants on topless dancers in town. They mention her as a socialite. So what - she now has a degree from Emory - what has she done with it??? She likes to think that she is better than the other girls but basically was out to marry to maintain her lifestyle. Many people that are “educated’ as Erica likes to think she is speak more than one language. She has had all the advantages, so I find her manners pretty pathetic. The scene where she speaks bad English with an Italian acent was a riot.
I spent the whole two hours watching the finale. I was so disappointed by Lorenzo’s choice. He seems to be a deep person with a good taste, but he chose Jennifer! This girl cannot even walk right.
