The baby has been born late in November (November 28th?) I believe. Dona Maria Fransesca is the daughter of Prince Eudes and Mercedes Neves da Rocha. Eudes on his turn is the second son of the late Prince Pedro Henrique and Princess Maria of Bavaria. His marriage was morganatic son according to the rules of this branch of the Imperial family he lost his rights. His elder brother Luis Gastao is now head of the family but the claim will pass in the future to a younger brother Antonio and his descedants. Antonio is married to a Princess de Ligne, who is a cousin of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg (and a daughter of Princess Alix of Luxembourg).

António Carlos de Almeida Braga (Braguinha) has a great estate in Sintra, where he spends at least 4 months a year. His parents are Portuguese, but I don't have more details on that.

Thanks Elsa M.

I also knew Braguinha had a estate in SINTRA. I heard that Braguinha had been moved to Sintra with his wife Luiza and their daughters in 1980s. In this estate he hosted Ayrton Senna. But he was born in Portugal or in Brazil?

Actually, Dom Luiz and Dom Bertrand are true Catholics, those who follow strictly the Church rules. The problem is that they belong to an extremely conservative Catholic group, the TFP (Tradition, Family and Property), which disagrees with some of the changes that the Chuch made after the Second Vatican Council. They have made vows of chastity and live in the TFP's dependencies in Rio de Janeiro.
The Vassouras branch in general is very religious.

Death of Pedro de Orleans and Braganza

Sevilla, December 27 (EFE) .- Pedro Orleans and Braganza has died this morning to 94 years at his home in the town Sevillian Villamanrique de la Condesa, sources told Efe of the family.

Peter Orleans, candidate for the Brazilian imperial throne, was widower of expectancy Borbón-Dos Sicilies and Orleans, aunt of King Juan Carlos, who died on August 8, 2005, with whom she married at the cathedral in the capital Sevillian 18 December 1944.

Since then he has lived with his wife, with whom he had six children, in the palace of Villamanrique, a town located some 36 kilometers from Seville and about 4,000 inhabitants, but this residence alternated with lodging in Brazil.

Peter Orleans was born on February 19, 1913 at the castle D'Eu (France) and visited Brazil for the first time in seven years

With his death, the dynastic dispute in Brazil ends.

Neither his son or his grandson has showns any desire of keeping alive the claim of Dom Gastão.

The Imperial Family never actually renounced their throne. The republicans control the government and you will never here them even mention the Imperial Family. I wonder why they are so nervous about this. Perhaps until recently republicanism has been a horrid failure in Brasil?

I believe all of them use the Prince or Princess title so long as the father uses it.
We really must get away from "morganatic" marriage useage. It is from another time and no longer has any usefulness. In fact there is nothing in the Imperial Brasilian constitution which addresses it. Therefore, renuciation of rights to the possible throne are all meaningless.
The Sao Paulo branch of the Imperial Familly calls itself the dynastic branch on an earlier renuciation. It is baseless.

Default Prince Of Paraty Branch Of Imperial Family
If by genuine you mean his Brasilianess (Prince D. Joao). Yes, he is the natural for the job. He perhaps is the least European of the lot. He has made his own life and his own fortune. He worked on a ship as a commone seaman. He is a big surfista. People really like him.
If you mean a blood heir then one must gravitate to Prince D. Pedro Carlos of Petropolis. He has the direct blood line from Emperor Dom Pedro II.

Default Petropolis Branch
The Petropolis branch of the Imperial Family is a tad on the disfunctional side. However, just because Prince D. Pedro Carlos does not run around showing himself off does not mean he is not interested. Various members of the Imperial Family have sold off family items simply because they need the money. They were never a very rich family.

The Petrópolis branch is not part of the Imperial Family.

Today, the only brazilian princes are:

- Dom Luiz (Louis)

- Dom Bertrand

- Dom Antonio (Antony, married to Christine of Ligne)

- Dona Isabel (Isabella)

- Dona Eleonora (Princess of Ligne, and married to Michel, Prince of Ligne)

- Dom Pedro Luiz (Peter Louis)

- Dom Rafael

- Dona Amélia

- Dona Gabriela

- Henri of Ligne

- Alix of Ligne

P.S.: Imperiale, you should stop posting a message after another. That´s spamming.

P.S.2: If Dom Pedro´s renounce of 1908 is invalid, that means that Juan Carlos I of Spain is not the rightfull king just as Dom Duarte, the Duke of Braganza is not the rightful claimant to the portuguese throne? Their older uncles renounced their position when their country was a republic. Do NOT try to make us look like a bunch of fools.

Isn't that just a matter of how you look at things? The late Dom Pedro Gastao was rather sure about his claim and some say that the renouncement of the rights of his father (due to his marriage to a Polish countess) was invalid and thus he and his side of the family is still entitled to be the head of the Imperial family.

Another thing, I was wondering if Dom Antonio is as ultra-catholic as his eldest brother?

On another note, didn´t Pedro Carlos once said that he wasn´t too interested in the headship of the (Petrepolis branch) of the family? Didn´t one of his brothrs or cousins replace him or something like that? A miguel I believe to remember?
