A beautiful family!

The Capitolo Generale of the Orders of Savoy, originally planned for November, 2006 but postponed, has been rescheduled and announced for March 17, 2007 in Geneva. So, obviously there is no "hiccup" or doubt about the Grand Mastership of the Orders of Savoy.

HRH Princess Beatrice of York has been granted arms by the College of Arms in London:

The Capitolo Generale of the Order of Ss. Maurice & Lazarus ( a dynastic order of the House of Savoy) originally scheduled for late November has been suddenly and indefinitely postponed. I wonder if it has anything to do with the "recent unpleasantness"?

I recall that Bokassa claimed he was willing not to crown himself as long as the Pope came to crown him. Remembering what happened when Napoleon invited Pope Pius VII to crown him (and then ignored him in order to crown himself) and because Bokassa was clearly off balance Pope Paul VI wisely...

His majesty, the King of Tonga passed away on Sept. 10th. May he rest in peace.

I should like to point out there is no Queen "of Belgium". Rather there is a Queen of the Belgians.

It isn't a matter of choosing annulment or divorce. Both have ocurred. One must first obtain a civil divorce in order to begin proceedings for a Catholic annulment. The divorce ends the legal marriage. Annulment means the marriage was never sacramental in the eyes of the Catholic Church.

Here is an article from the Times about Emmanuele Filiberto poised to become the Head of the House of Savoy. No mention of the Aosta's at all. So much for them being openly declared the head, or carriers, or inheritors of anything. They aren't...

Actually, Amedeo has not been openly declared to be carrying the Savoy legacy. Rather he attempted to seize that for himself in a pathetic display that has no bearing on reality. VE was still the legitimate Head of the House of Savoy and is now succeeded by his rightful heir (acknowledged as...

Vittorio Emmanuele, as hoped, has been released from house arrest and while he has been told not to leave Italy he may move freely about the country now. The full story is here: http://www.galleonpoint.com/content/view/833/2/

Absolutely I do. However, the intelligent (not to mention ethical) thing for all interested parties to do would be first of all to wait and see the outcome of the latest charges brought against Vittorio Emmanuele. What has been done instead is a rush to judgement and a hasty and illegal action...

It is a mess indeed and partly because of selfishness and factionalism on the part of others. Since this council of the kingdom senators is already split since 2001 and of the 61 semators in the group only nine made this declaration about Amedeo that means a faction of a faction took it upon...

From what I am hearing nothing is settled yet. One of the most significant contributions to society today made by the House of Savoy is through the charitable works done by the Orders of Savoy (The Annunziata, Ss. Maurice & Lazarus and the Order of Merit of Savoy). The Grand Mastership of these...

Perhaps Charles is influenced here by his father. Prince Philip re-converted back to being Greek Orthodox several years ago.

The title was in fact bestowed and later withdrawn by the Pope. Henry VIII as supreme Head of the Church in England was in no way within his rights to have Parliament bestow the title on him. In effect, he was bestowing the title on himself. In addition, there was no provision for successive...

I heard recently from a member of the order of Ss. Maurice & Lazarus ( a dynastic order of the House of Savoy of which Emmanuele Filiberto is Grand Chancellor) and he told me that only 9 out of 61 members of the Consulta dei Senatori del Regno which is an advisory body appointed originally by...
