Prince of Orléans-Braganza
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince of Orléans-Bragança was a nobiliarchic title informally attributed[1] to all direct and legitimate varony descendants of Louis Philippe Gaston de Orléans, count d'Eu and Imperial Prince Consort of Brazil, as consort of the last Imperial Princess of Brazil, Isabel of Braganza.
The Royal House of France, of which the Count d'Eu was a member by birth until he renounced his French dynastic rights in 1864 after marrying Isabel de Braganza, Imperial Princess of Brazil, specified that the title Prince of Orléans-Braganza was not part of the noble titles of French royalty but recognized, informally, as the monarchy had been abolished in France since 1848, along with all noble titles,[1] and as a non-reigning house it did not possess any powers for formal recognition - such a title as part of a house distinct from the Royal House of France (the House of Orléans), as well as that the princes of Orléans-Braganza would have the same honours as the princes of the Royal House of France and be addressed as "Royal Highness".
