Burkandt describes herself as a "Daddy's girl" and maintains a close bond with Söder, though she acknowledges the scarcity of their time together. "I often think I want to spend more time with my father," she admits, attributing the limited availability to his demanding political career. She notes that she often has to wait for him to find a free moment.

In the series, Burkandt is shown at the Munich Oktoberfest, coordinating with her father's assistant to find out his whereabouts. "His assistant will text me when he's on his way," she explains, highlighting the indirect communication channel. Söder himself acknowledges the unpredictable nature of his daughter's activities, stating, "With Gloria, anything is possible," while also preparing for potential "emergency interventions."

Despite public appearances alongside her father being important for her career, Burkandt emphasizes her aspiration to forge her own identity. "I am more than just the daughter of Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder," she declares in the show. She asserts that her achievements as a model, actress, author, and doctoral candidate are entirely her own, free from any influence from her father's position. Her goal is to be recognized fully as an individual.
