How wonderful to see Rafael joining the royal family of Portugal.

Just a thought, Maria Francisca would be an ideal candidate as a future royal spouse for Rafael... An age gap of 11 years is a bit large, but her parents seem to make it work!

Yes she would have been perfect, but they are both over 21years of age so the age gap isn’t that bad. Unfortunately she’s engaged now so no chance
 
The Duke of Bragança appeared on a radio program.

 
D.Duarte, Duke of Bragança and D.Afonso participated in the Luncheon for the Kings at Casa de Infias, in Braga. It was organized by the Royal Associations of Porto, Braga, Viana do Castelo, Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro.

D.Duarte and D.Isabel spoke about their daughter's engagement.
“Suddenly, I feel that my daughter has grown up, but I am very happy, because she is very happy. We are very fond of our future son-in-law and what all parents want is for their children to be happy and have people by their side who add to each other's lives, and we are no exception. We are really happy", said D. Isabel, confessing that, despite everything, she still does not feel ready for her daughter to leave home: "I think that leaving the nest is always difficult, and I still haven't really become aware that it will happen. I think it will be difficult for everyone, but I believe that for fathers it must be even worse than for mothers, because there is always a special bond with daughters. But it is part of the process and we will have a new member in the family.”

D. Duarte said: “Of course it will be hard for me to see her leave the house, but they will stay in Lisbon and that reassures me. I'm not one to worry about what's not under my control. And actually, we are really happy. We love Duarte and his family very much, it was just unnecessary for my daughter to have chosen a husband with the same name as her father [laughs]. It will cause a lot of confusion [laughs].”

The ceremony, scheduled for next October, is already starting to be prepared, as D. Isabel said: “They already asked me for help, as there are several things involved, since the wedding will be their way and a party for us, but also for the Portuguese who have followed Francisca since she was born and will certainly also enjoy meeting Duarte.”

The property that belongs to the Dukes of Bragança and former residence of the Infante Dom Miguel de Bragança, Casa das Fidalgas, in Santar, has been recovered and converted into a 5-star boutique hotel, the Valverde Santar Hotel & Spa. The inauguration took place on the 26th of July and was attended by the Portuguese Royal Family.

It's was the catholic youth day I believe? The first time in some years. Nice for them that they were able to see HH.

A sensible thing to do with the property. The Duchess works in real estate of course.

The first copy of the medal of the Royal Wedding of the Dukes of Coimbra with gold plating offered by Medalist Lusatenas was presented at the Santa Cruz monastery in Coimbra to D. Duarte, Duke of Bragança and the members of the Heraldic Council of the Oureana Foundation, the department responsible for design and editing.

Is there a photo of the medal? Or perhaps we will be surprised by it on the wedding day itself.

Edit: I see the facebook link has the medal. It has the monogram of the couple on it.
