What about Prince Pedro's daughter Maria da Gloria? Is she doing things for the family? I know she is living in Spain with her second husband and two youngest children, but does she do anything on behalf of the family?
HRH Princess Maria da Glória, Duchess of Sergobe isn't a member of the Imperial Family, because her grandfather, Prince Pedro de Alcântara, renounced his Dynastic rights, in his name and in name of all his descendents.
None of Prince Pedro de Alcântara's descendents works on behalf of the Imperial House.
I know of d. Luiz's condition, and it is understandable
d. Bertrand does more bad then it is worth, and d. Antônio might go to meetings and other events but that simply isnt enough. They dont do any Lectures to Universities (except d. Bertrand, who ends up making more enemies then allies when he does, just look at what happened at PUC...) nor do they appear doing any volutneer work for people that need it (ok, d. Antonio is too old for that, but d. Rafael hasnt done any as far as I know, and the Princesses have only done one from what I've heard). We need more of these affirmative actions from our IF, and we need them to go to the different organizations of the Movement and tell them to start working Together.
The problem is that they don't receive media coverage.
Prince Antônio is always visiting schools and universities, he even visited a detention center (accompanied by Prince Rafael). Princess Cristina works with charities for mentally disabled children. Sometimes, the Goverment invetes Prince Antônio and Princess Cristina to represent the Imperial Family at official events.
Prince Rafael is starting to work for the Imperial Family, but he also has his work for Ambev. And we have to undestand his situation: the poor guy only become a direct heir to the Throne at the age of 24, after his brother's death.
Princess Amélia is now living and working in Spain, so she's not representing the Imperial Family anymore (I hope she return married with a Prince). Princess Maria Gabriela only finished college last year, but she has already accompanied her father to an official event, and was the highest ranking female royal at last year Monarchical Meeting.
Princess Isabel has worked for the Red Cross (she served as the President of the Brazilian Red Cross), and she's still envolved with many charities.
And we also have the Princess of Ligne, who is envolved with charities, but in Belgium.
The Imperial Family does a lot of things, but they don't receive any coverage.
d. Bertrand does more bad then it is worth.
Oh, please, Prince Bertrand isn't that bad.
He's a brilliant man, and he's very in touch with the brazilian reality. And His Imperial and Royal Highness know what to do in order to solve our problems.
