Prince Carlo of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Castro (born February 24, 1963) is one of two claimants to the headship of the the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies.
[edit] Early life and education
Carlo was born at Saint-Raphaël, Var, France, the only son of Ferdinand, Duke of Castro, and of his wife, Chantal de Chevron-Villette.[1] He was baptised with the names Carlo Maria Bernardo Gennaro. Until 2008 he used the title Duke of Calabria.
Carlo was educated firstly at the Institute of the Marist Fathers at Toulon, France. He went on to study at a namesake of the Collège Stanislas de Paris located in Nice, France. After studying at an international university in Paris, he spent three years working for a public relations firm in Manhattan. He is fluent in Italian, French and English.
[edit] Headship of the House of Bourbon Two Sicilies
In 2008 Carlo succeeded his father as claimant to the headship of the House of the Two Sicilies. As head of the house, he uses the title Duke of Castro.
Carlo's supporters state that since the grandfather' brothers of Infante Carlos renounced his rights of succession to the throne of the Two Sicilies in 1900, the headship of the house passed to Carlo's grandfather Ranieri, Duke of Castro, then to Carlo's father Ferdinand, Duke of Castro, and most recently to Carlo.[2] Infante Carlos's claims to be the Duke of Calabria and head of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies are recognized by Spanish king Juan Carlos of Spain, however this is not recognised by anybody else.[3].
Carlo claims the disputed Grand Mastership of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George, the Order of Saint Ferdinand and Merit, the Order of St. Januarius, the Order of Saint George and Reunion, and the Royal Order of Francis I.
Carlo has been decorated with several dynastic and state honours. [4]
[edit] Family
Carlo is married to Camilla Crociani.[5] He and his wife use the rank and style of Royal Highness, Duke and Duchess of Castro. They have two children:[5]
- Princess Maria-Carolina Chantal Edoarda Beatrice Januaria of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (born in Rome in 2003)
- Princess Maria Chiara Amalia Carola Louise Carmen of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (born in Rome 2005)
