Gloria "Martha" Prince is Martin Prince's mother and Gareth Prince's wife.
History[]
Gloria once attempted to sell Martin's extremely valuable Star Wars merchandise to Comic Book Guy for an extremely cheap price. She was warned by Bart and Milhouse and chose to not to sell it.[1] In "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken", it is revealed by her son that she "shoplifts all the time, mostly just for stuff she doesn't even need."
She was also responsible for all of the guests at Martin's birthday party (with the exception of Seymour Skinner, Edna Krabappel and Bart and Lisa Simpson) getting food poisoning because she had served diseased oysters instead of cake.
In "Orange is the New Yellow", Gloria called the police when she found Bart wandering in the park unsupervised, leading to Marge's arrest.
Trivia[]
- In "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken", Martin claims that his mom shoplifts all the time (mostly for stuff she doesn't need). From that, it's possible that Mrs. Prince might have kleptomania, which is "a recurrent urge to steal, typically without regard for need or profit." She can also be seen stealing hamburgers in Tapped Out.
Behind the Laughter[]
Gloria's name is revealed in the episode "Boyz N the Highlands".
