Diana de Cadaval O bebé vai nascer cá, mas ainda não sabemos o sexo nem temos nomes - Caras.pt
In this article the Duchess states that the baby will be born in Portugal, not France! She also said she has no ideas for names, nor does she know the sex, nor does she know if she wants to know the sex of the baby yet.

After two successful books written by his wife it seems the Duke of Anjou has decided it's his turn at being an author. His book is called "Reis no Exilio" or Kings in exile. It's about the royal families in exile in Portugal during WWII, including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, King Carol of Romania, the Spanish Royal family, the Italian Royal Family and Queen Giovanna of Bulgaria. It's odd though I thought Queen Giovanna was exiled in Madrid, but that's what the books facebook page says. The official presentation will be in 13 days.

Thanks! I wonder if it will be in Portuguese? If it is I think it'll be the first time he speaks Portuguese in public.

He spoke a mixture of portuguese and spanish.

[maria-olivia]

Did he say why it is published in Portuguese I believe the same editor as his wife's book?
Did he plan to translate it in french ?

[jonc93]

Thanks tdarlene, now I'm interested in hearing the interview, but if he can not clearly speak the language it leads me to question if he truly wrote the book or just put his name on it.

Maria According to the books official facebook page it will soon be translated into French & Spanish.

[julliette]

Maybe he wrote the book in french and Diana helped to translate it to portuguese. Or maybe he wrote it in portuguese with Diana by his side helping him with the words and expressions...
Anyway, I'm curious to listen to him. If anyone finds a video

Diana and Charles-Philippe attended a charity event

Diana de Cadaval:

[maria-olivia]

Charles Philippe seems more popular in Portugal as in France where he has to resign as Head of the Order of St Lazare.

He should resign too from his title of Duke d’ Anjou and leave it to the Other in order to stop years quarrels.

Endless he should ask Don Duarte de Bragancia to be titled Duke of Cadaval.

Why should be ask Don Duarte, when it's not his title to give, but his wife's title?

[Warren]

The Duke of Bragança settled the dispute between Diana and her sister Rosalinda and he is responsible for her bearing the Duchess of Cadaval title.
Succession to this ducal title does not follow the usual rules and has traditionally been determined by the Head of the Portuguese Royal House.
Refer to this post by Elsa M. in the 'Ducal House of Cadaval' thread for a fuller explanation.

According to his website the Duke of Anjou announced the due date for the birth of his first child being February 26th. Of course, because today's babies tend to come later than due date, it is also possible that this baby will be born in the first half of March

The Duchess of Alba presented her book Yo, Cayetana in Estoril, Portugal. Diana and Charles-Philippe attended. Here is a gallery of the event
