well you have not answered my question.....
yes i agree that people will link him with the royal family....with him being a savoy by birth (or as you put it.... by blood ) well thats inevitable i fear and theres nothing what anyone can do to prevent that. as i have stated this is very unfortunate for some !!
taking this into account....IMO, its not his lifestyle etc which has a adverse bearing and reflection upon the royal family..but the very criticism of it which does.....the less said about his lifestyle... the better (wont it be in the best interests of all concerned that this criticism should cease, for in the long run it would be far better for the restoration of the monarchy in italy).....less is more so to speak....!!
i restate live and let live. for those people who does not acknowledge or regard EF as member of the royal family (rightly so as per the family rules and laws) his lifestyle etc should have no consequence what so ever !!.
as for EF calling himself prince of savoy, well for those in the know....this is a empty title. IMO even if he did not use it and was known as plain MR EF SAVOY..i dont think the situation will be any differant regarding the petty criticism's he recieves !!
btw did not his grandfather the late king bestow the title "prince of venice" to him !!
