A very sad end of year 2012 for the Bourbon Lubomirsk.
Prince Luis Afonso, who had divorced the Apovian woman in a bitter divorce battle, fathered a girl who was born in Rio around 1st Dec. His parents learnt about the pregnancy of Luis Afonso´s partner just a month before the birth, are going to Rio to spend Chrismas with the Apovian´s daughter (who lives in Rio also) and to meet their new grand daughter and her mother for the first time. All this must not be pleasant for the parents of a nun and a priest.
But if it was not enough Princesses Inmaculada and Margarita are involved in a case of laudring money and they will have to face Spanish justice, who is most severe.

Prince Jaime, the eldest son of the duke of Noto, has been created Duke of Capua by his grand father.

Princess Robijn · #**112** 05-17-2013, 05:35 AM

The official announcement:
06/05/2013

Cory · #**113** 05-17-2013, 06:40 AM

The Succession is assured.

Cory · #**114** 05-21-2013, 03:15 AM

Has HRH the Duke of Capua ever visited the Kingdom of Two Sicilies?

**Marengo** · #**115** 05-21-2013, 05:35 AM

AFAIK there was only a county and a principality of Capua. The count was a vasal of the prince of Benevento. In 910 Benevento and Capua were merged as principalities, and later went to Norman rulers. In 1155 the principality went to the king of the Sicilies and was used sometimes as a title for the second sons of the monarch.

**MAfan** · #**116** 05-21-2013, 08:13 AM

You're right, in the past it was used the title of Prince of Capua but never the title of Duke of Capua.
The last time the title of Prince of Capua was conferred to Prince Carlo Ferdinando of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (1811-1862), the second son of King Francesco I and Queen Isabella.

Cory · #**117** 05-21-2013, 10:49 AM

It is clearly the first time we hear of the title Duke of Capua.

Princess Anna's grandfather, Prince Gabrielle of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (created HRH Prince of Bourbon by King Alfonso XIII) is the brother of the Duke of Calabria's grandfather, Prince Ranieri.

Ranieri's proclamation of himself as Head of the Royal House of The Two Sicilies in 1960 in opposition to the recognised Head, Prince Alfonso, created the current schism within the family.
.

The recognized head of the family was Prince Ranieri as Alfonso renounced his claim because he thought Franco might name him King of Spain

Are any of these titles legal?

I Doubt the Republic of Italy pays too much attention to titles handed out by the former reigning families amongst themselves,.
