Thanx 4 all pix very good-looking couple. Clotilde is super talented and charming, she was amazing in "Le vie en rose" she should be given more basic roles. Is there any chance they ever gonna reign? Highly unlikely isn't it? :-(

Only by the Grace of God.
As they clearly want to be annointed, they must stay married and encourage their daughters into equal marriages.
They must seek favour of the Lord by doing more good deeds and by defending Christianity.

I'd say that most of all they must seek the will of Italian people, and this is very very unlikely.

The little boys are adorable. Does anyone know if there have been other royals who have participated in foreign born adoption?

Is this a real adoption or a financial adoption? Because they put the word adoption between quotation marks.

I wonder if they will have titles or succession rights?

I will admit, the first thing that cross my mind was that this was more about following the celebrity trend of adopting African children rather than a genuine desire to expand their family. If done for the right reasons, I of course wish them all the best and send congratulations. I never would have expected it from them but ... I hope that is the case. I cannot help but be a little skeptical though given how many celebrities have adopted children from Africa in recent years. Are there no Italian orphans in need of a good home? I'm also curious to see how this is handled as regards to the succession dispute. If the rules have already been thrown out the window, who is to say he might not treat his adopted sons as though they were 'of the blood' as the French would say?

Chapeau bas Votre Altesse!
It's great and impressive! It will also help to put attention to children's conditions in Africa.

Adopting an Italian child is extremely difficult in Italy nowadays. First because orphans are becoming sort of rare birds. If one parent dies, the kids usually stays with the other one, and if the parent is in difficulty, or both parents are dead, the child/ren are usally placed in a foster care with their closest relatives. Italy's most popular anchorwoman , Simona Ventura is currently fostering the daughter of a cousin of hers, but she cannot adopt the girl, because Mrs. Ventura is a divorcee. Single parents are not allowed to adopt kids, but they are allowed to foster one.
The Italian law is very strict on adoption. Technically speaking EF and Clotilde have all the requirements needed to adopt a child: they're married, surely there can't be an age gap of 45 years between them and their potential 'new' children, are wealthy, and have two daughters already, but for the above mentioned reasons Italian orphans are sort of running out...
A friend of my husband has adopted a Russian boy, the ex teacher of my son has adopted two Brazilian kids.

The boys will not have succession rights - one has to be born legitimately in an approved marriage.
