The Christmas & New Year card of the Duke and Duchess of Castro:

That card is insulting. Both the image as well the illegal use of titles which are not theirs. Period.

[Moonmaiden23]

Indeed, it's very difficult to take this "Royal" couple seriously. They seem like something off a reality TV program, with actors playing at being Royal and having titles, etc.

I'm curious about the titles they are using that aren't theirs

Could you explain which titles they are please?

Why would they use them?

Thanks

Is she precluded from being his heir because she is female?
Or is there another reason?

[duke of poliganc]

yes , because she is a woman and also because there is another claimant to the title of duke of calabria in the spanish branch of the bourbon two sicilies. but the duke of castro actually when he was a heir to his father he also was titled the duke of calabria

Mainly the whole female heir. People contest the right if her father to change house law to allow female succession.

But then there is the whole fight over who in fact is head of the family, and who is entitled to duke if Calabria. The duke of Castros great grandfather had a number of sons. His eldest son ferdinand suceeded him and died without male heir. But Ferdinand's next brother Carlos had renounced his right to the throne when he married a Spanish infanta. The throne was claimed by the third brother, the duke of Castros grandfather. But Carlos son Alfonso claimed his father only gave up his own succession rights, and Alfonso was rightfully head of the family. Juan Carlos supports the claim of Alfonso line, but other royals including the family, recognize the Castro claim.

Not to go too far off topic, there is a thread about the Two-Sicilies dispute and the 2014 reconciliation between the branches, the Duke of Castro has breached the agreement and continues in the family Christmas Card. I have to agree the photo, to me, is more along the lines of a Vogue cover shoot than holiday greetings.

H.R.H. Princess Beatrice of Bourbon-Two Sicilies paid visit on 06 March to the "Casa di Tonia" in Naples. She was accompanied by Marchioness Donna Federica de Gregorio Cattaneo (of the Princes of Sant'Elia).
"Casa di Tonia" is a shelter for homeless and abandoned pregnant women and single mothers, which was opened in 2010.
Here the Princess also attended the christening of the newborn daughter of a Romanian woman hosted at the "Casa di Tonia", whom she first met when she was pregnant and whom the Princess helped to find accomodation at the "Casa di Tonia".
The Princess stood as godmother for the little child, who has been named Aurora Beatrice.
