Prince Jaime (1972-) and Princess Viktória (1982-) of Bourbon-Parma

[MAfan]

Ah, good old Sixte, still full of hatred. What a nice welcome in the family for Viktória.
I wonder who according to Sixte is able to continue the line then. No other Parma dynast married ebenburtig... in fact even his fathers marriage to a bastard branch of the house of Bourbon can be considered morganatic. Or is a mere noble good enough for Sixte after all? In which case prince Michel and sons can be considered his successor. I wonder if he and his sons support Sixte of Carlos Xavier. In general the family doesn't seem too close so probably they don't want to get mixed up in the feud.

Well, if a mere noble is good for Sixte then before Prince Michel the successors would be the two sons of Michel's late older brother, Prince Jacques. Both them - Prince Philipp and Prince Alain - have contracted morganatic marriages according to the standards of both the late Duke Carlos Hugo and of Prince Sixte, so the succession will eventually pass to Prince Michel and his sons, who have both married to noblewomen.

[Spheno]

so, she indeed was pregnant on their wedding day

 

[Elektra]

Congratulations to them I must say I'm not exactly surprised .

 

[Tilia C.]

I'm not surprised, but it is wonderful news. All the best for the soon-to-be parents !

 

[EmmaNL]

Well, I'm not surprised either.
She looked a bit 'full' on her wedding day, the engagement period was so short and her dress was perfect to hide her belly..
But it's wonderful news!

 

[Archduchess Zelia]

Can't say I'm surprised either, but yay! Such great news. Congratulations to Jaime and Viktória.

 

[Isabella Park]

Wow wow!!! Great news!!
Congratulations to the soon-to-be parents.
I'm hoping for this time Princess Irene is having a grandson

 

[Tiggersk8]

After hearing the tragic news out of Glasgow and then learning a Toronto officer's fighting for his life after crashing his cruiser (and after seeing what's left of it, I'm amazed he made it to the Hospital...), this is much needed lovely happy news to see.

Yes, all of us had an idea this announcement was coming. Doesn't really matter. Here's to a healthy beautiful lil one and a healthy Mommy in February!!

(I have both close friends and Family serving in respective Police Services across Canada, so today's sad news hits close to Home.)

That's wonderful!

They are such a beautiful couple. I hope their baby will be a healthy one and if it'll be a girl she would have inherited her mothers Beauty.

Prince Jaime was appointed as Dutch ambassador in Vatican City.

He is only 41 and already an ambassador. He must be very talented, though the cynics under us may think that nepotism plays a part in this quick carreer.

Just being good at what he does at the Foreign Office counts more then what some dutch cynics think by lack of any other occupation.Jaime used to work as a conflict manager abroad,Iraq,Afghanistan ao.Now,grant him a position where he for a change doesn't have to worry about his head being blown off at the next corner while others sit safe at home thinking of another cynical beside the point remark...

 

[Cory]

It is also important he is a very devout Catholic.

 

[Marengo]

I don't think it is needed for the Dutch ambassador to the Vatican to be a catholic. Though at least two of the last three ambassadors to the Vatican have been catholic, the four ambassadors before that were not.

Why do you assume that the prince is 'devout' btw?

 

[Cory]

The Prince was educated in a very Catholic Family.
It is not compulsory for an Ambassador tk the Holy See to be catholic but it's maybe easier if it is the case.

The prince and his siblings were mainly raised by his mother in Wijk bij Duurstede in The Netherlands. Many family members were/are devout, some members like prince Sixtus are indeed portraying themselves as extremely zealous. And I believe his eldest sister Princess Françoise Lobkovitcz has some children who entered the church. Note that the contact with these two siblings of Carlos-Hugo has ben very limited or even non-existant in the last decades. They didn't even go to the funeral of the late duke of Parma.

The late duke of Parma however didn't seem to inherit his family's over zealous nature. Esp. not when he tried to turn Carlism away from their extreme reactionary stances in the 70-ties.

Although the Dutch RF is christian, they are generally not considered religious extremists. The protestant reverends that they use for functions belong to the more open-minded part of the protestant church.

In any case, they consider religion a private matter. It seems that Jaime does the same, I have never seen him flauting his religious beliefs like his nutty uncle Sixtus. So there is no way of knowing how devout the prince is.

[principessa]

Congratulations! May the little be princess be blessed with health and joy.

 

[dbarn67]

Wow today's the day for little princesses! Congratulations to the lucky parents!!!

 

[Valerie Rose]

Beautiful names; every blessing to Zita Clara.

 

[Marengo]

Nice that the prince honours his great aunt, the Empress Zita. Perhaps the empress' beatification will happen, while Prince Jaime is still an ambassador at the Vatican.

The article says that the name Clara was chosen for Princess Viktoria's grandmother: Klara Kimmerman .
