On 21 April , on behalf of Prince Dom Luiz, Head of the Imperial House of Brazil, his nephew, Prince Dom Gabriel , had the pleasure of visiting Aparecida, in the interior of the State of São Paulo, in order to participate, as guest of honor, representing the Imperial House of Brazil, in the opening of the celebrations of the Bicentennial of the Independence of Brazil and of the 113th Festa de São Benedito, Patron Saint of the Municipality.

All the five brothers who renounced their rights - Princes Eudes, Pedro de Alcantara, Fernando, Francisco and Alberto - married ladies from the Brazilian Aristocracy. One of the sisters, Princess Maria Gabriela, married a Brazilian nobleman, while her twin, Princess Maria Thereza, married a Dutch nobleman, Johannes Hessel de Jong.

As father, the late Prince Pedro Henrique approved the marriages of all his sons and even regarded his daughters-in-law as his own daughters. But, as Head of the Imperial House of Brazil, he believed he had to maintain the standards established by his ancestors.




Prince Rafael is a handsome young man, we just need to let him have some fun.

For all he said so far, when he settles down, it'll be with an European Catholic Princess by his side.

If we want the monarchy to return to Brazil, which I think would be the best for the country, because it would bring it to the international front pages, attracting more business and tourism; In addition, it would give a sense of stability to Brazil, as it happens in England; and it would free the president from many national and international commitments, which would be much better represented by them, allowing the president to dedicate himself to his work; I think we should help Dom Rafael make a good choice of wife, which is the key to this.
To achieve this, she must be a Diana Spencer, but also with a princess title, which Diana did not have. Remember that Diana raised a monarchy that was declining in popularity and thanks to her Australia did not leave the union.
Maybe I make some mistakes because I'm new here, and if so, excuse me and correct me, but I wanted to suggest some options, to see what you think or if you can give me more ideas of other options.
My options are, Alejandra de Hannover, almost 23 years old; Princess Victoria von Hohenlohe-Langenburg, 25, a German princess with multiple titles of Spanish grandeur; and Princess Kako of Akishino, 27, the niece of the Emperor of Japan and the daughter and sister of future emperors.
I don't know them in their personalities, to know if they are as attractive as Diana, but any of them would bring a lot of press to the royal family and to Brazil. The first, for being the daughter and granddaughter of princesses as famous as Diana; the second, for its large number of titles; and the third, because Brazil is the country with the highest Japanese immigration, which would bring it great popularity.
It goes without saying how beneficial they would be for the country due to their large number of contacts worldwide, with which I am sure the royal family and Brazil would be constantly on the front page of newspapers and magazines around the world.

Let us all offer prayers for Dom Luiz, for the Princes who are called to succeed him and for the Brazilian Imperial Family.

It is very sad news. A lot of strength for the whole family.
 
That's quite a different message than previously but an 84-year old being in a hospital for over a month (including several weeks at the ICU) didn't sound promising. They haven't provided information on why he ended up in hospital, have they?

Wishing the family strength and peace in this difficult time.
 
New update:

Prince Dom Luiz of Orleans-Braganza remains hospitalizated in Santa Catarina Hospital in Sao Paulo. His clinical picture is considered very serious; Prince is currently receiving palliative care, with priority given to symptom control.

We extend our prayers to all of you for the Dom Luiz.

More information will be made available in due course.

Hopefully he can draw strength and comfort from having his family surrounding him and being in the thoughts of many.
