Everything about Prince Carlo Duke Of Calabria totally explained
Prince Carlo of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Calabria (born
February 24 1963 in
Saint-Raphaël) is the son of
Prince Ferdinand, Duke of Castro and Chantal de Chevron-Villette. He is one of two claimants to the title,
Duke of Calabria, Prince Carlo's rival claimant is the
Infante Carlos, Duke of Calabria. His full name is Charles Marie Bernard Gennaro.
Prince Carlo's father Ferdinand is currently the claimant to the headship of the
House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies on that side of the family; a title which will one day be passed onto Carlo himself. Other titles his father holds, which will one day be passed on to Carlo includes;
Grand Mastership of religions orders such as the
Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George and the
Royal Order of Francis I.
Biography
He was born on
24 February 1963 in
Saint-Raphaël, Var,
France. Supporters of Prince Carlo claim that since the grandfather of
Infante Carlos renounced the title in
1900, the title legitimately passed over his line onto
Prince Ranieri, Duke of Castro,
Prince Ferdinand, Duke of Castro, and finally Prince Carlo. The reverse argument is supported by the commissioned report of King
Juan Carlos of Spain, in
1983, which concluded that
Infante Carlos is, in fact, the actual
Duke of Calabria and head of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies.. However, a finding to the contrary would have undermined Juan Carlos own claim to the monarchy of Spain, so his commission represented a vested interest, and not an independent enquiry. The "official" (Spanish) site for the
Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George purports that, as Duke of Calabria, Infante Carlos is also the
Grand Master of the order. But the
UK delegation of the order claim that Prince Ferdinando, Duke of Castro is the Grand Master, and that Prince Carlo, his son, is "Grand Prefect." There are equally convincing arguments on both sides, but regardless of which side one believes, there seems to be no apparent diplomatic solution because each side is supported by separate interests.
He has been decorated with several dynastic and state honours.
Education
He 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.
