Duke Carlos Javier and the Royal House of Bourbon-Parma 1: August 2010- 2022

[MAfan]

And in fact Duke Carlos, his siblings and his aunts simply ignore uncle Sixte and his rants.
At the death of Duke Carlos Hugo, Prince Sixte publicly asked to Carlos Xavier and Jaime to disown their father and his "leftist" Carlis wiews, and in this case he would stand aside; they didn't bother to respond him, and Sixte reacted proclaiming himself again the "Standard Bearer of Carlism".
He then proclaimed that the marriage of Carlos Xavier to Annemarie was in contrast with the Bourbon Parma house rules and morganatic and again they didn't bother to respond him.

Technically speaking, if it were BC, this whole Roman Catholic or Protestant issue wouldn't pose a problem, would it?

LOL!!..No it wouldn't,as it is all menmade divisions & other nonsense..bearing in mind there is only one God...excuse my language

And as to Mafan

Who would have expected differently...grin...

 

[Tilia C.]

But weren't there some aunts who take sides with Sixte? It struck me that Maria Theresia was the only one of Carlos Hugo's siblings who attended the mass in Parma.

I just can’t understand grumpy old Sixte. He has no heir himself to continue his rant for Carlism. Afaik there is no single BP Prince left who would fulfill Sixte’s idea of a Carlist leader. There is no future in Sixte’s actions, and Carlos Javier probably knows that that better then Uncle Sixte.

 

[MAfan]

Lucien, maybe Sixte would have expected something different, but certainly I wouldn't.

Since when the rift about Carlism started, back in the 1970s, Princess Françoise (and also the late Duchess Madeleine) supported Sixte while Carlos Hugo was supported by his three unmarried sisters, Marie Therese, Cecile and Marie-des-Neiges. It wasn't clear who did the late Duke Xavier support, since in the last period of his life he (or maybe it's better to say those who were with him at the time) issued several contrasting declarations, at times supporting Carlos Hugo and his vision of Carlism and at times condemning him.

I suppose that Sixte doesn't have anything else to live for. AFAIK among the Bourbon-Parmas there is someone who shares his strict conservative and ultra-Catholic values, namely Prince Charles Emmanuel, although I don't think he has anything to do with Carlosm.

Btw, I wonder if there is any future for Carlism at all, whoever its leader is.

 

[maria-olivia]

For the Bourbon Parmes Princesses , in Parma we saw only Princess Marie-Thérèse Princess Cecile was ill and Princess Marie des Neiges stayed with her.

We will never see Princess Françoise and Princess Sixte who did not even attend their own brother's funerals although they would meet the new King of the Netherlands.

STRANGE and ODD Family !

Princess Annemarie admitted to hospital

Just announced: Princess Annemarie won't attend the wedding of her brother-in-law because she has been admitted to hospital.
According to sources mother and unborn child are doing well but doctors thought it would be wise for her not to attend the wedding.
Sad and strange...

Goodness,I do hope all is ok!

Sad and strange...

Sad, but not strange
It is quite common for pregnant women to need plenty of rest

 

[Biri]

But why in hospital if mother and baby are doing well?

Pregnant women, while they do need rest, are not ill and don't require hospitalization.

But it is 2013, she's in the Netherlands, and she's due next month. Whatever this drama is, it will sort itself out and soon there will be another little Bourbon-Parma running around.

Well, the "running" part will have to wait for another year, or so . But it is good to see the family grow.

It's true that Françoise and Sixte didn't attend the funeral of Duke Carlos Hugo, but we don't know exactly whether it was because they had not been invited (since only those who were invited by the family could attend) or because they chose not to go. It's likely that they didn't go for the first reason.

Bts, it's interesting that Françoise's son Prince Charles Henri von Lobkowicz was invited and attended the wedding of Albert Brenninkmeijer and Princess Carolina, last year in Florence. I hope this is a signal of thaw between the younger generations.

 

[lucien]

There's another signal with Duchess Annemaria in hospital....we will be getting a busy BP weekend..plus...Princess Viktoria is looking more radiant then a bride usually already does......

[Marengo]

Besides giving his new niece such a warm welcome into the family, prince Sixte has participated in a project that disproved the authenticity of a rag dipped in Louis XVI's blood and Henri IV's mummified head. Prince Axel of BP and prince João of Orleans Bragança also gave their DNA sample.

Thanks for the list of godparents, Duc_et_Pair. I like how Princess Beatrix is included in the list, I think she is quite close to Princess Irene's family. (I remember reading here that she was close to Irene - or was it Margriet? I can't fully remember.)

Cecilia and Luisa are very cute. I like Luisa's little dress.

 

[An Ard Ri]

Princess Beatrix is a wonderful choice for godparent,Princess Cecilia is blessed indeed!
