About Prince Carlo, Duke of Castro

Prince Carlo of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Castro (born 24 February 1963) is one of two claimants to the headship of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. == Early life == Prince Carlo was born in Saint-Raphaël, Var, France, the only son of Prince Ferdinand, Duke of Castro and Chantal de Chevron-Villette. He was educated at the Collège Stanislas and later studied at the Université Libérale de Paris. == Marriage and issue == Prince Carlo married Camilla Crociani, daughter of Italian billionaire Camillo Crociani and his second wife, Italian actress Edy Vessel, on 31 October 1998 at the Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate in the Monaco-Ville ward of Monaco. The couple were introduced to each other by Albert II, Prince of Monaco. Notable guests at the wedding included Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, Albert, Hereditary Prince of Monaco (later Prince Albert II of Monaco), and Prince Laurent of Belgium. Together Carlo and Camilla have two daughters: Princess Maria Carolina, Duchess of Calabria, Duchess of Palermo and heir apparent to the house of Bourbone-Due Sicilie (born 23 June 2003) Princess Maria Chiara, Duchess of Noto and Capri (born 1 January 2005) Prince Carlo is also a godfather to Princess Josephine of Denmark, the youngest child of King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark, and attended her confirmation in 2026.
