Screen Shot 2016-06-08 at 13.21.16Rome, May 2016. At the Holy Mass in Saint Peter’s Basilica celebrated in Rome on 14 May 2016, during the International Pilgrimage of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George to Rome and Vatican City, the Head of the Royal House of Bourbon Two Sicilies, HRH The Duke of Castro made public his decision to change the rules of succession which have thus far been in force in the Royal House of Bourbon Two Sicilies.

This change was made in order to make the rules of succession compatible with international and European law, prohibiting any discrimination between men and women, not only in the enjoyment of their rights and freedoms but also in the exercise of public office of any kind.

The rule of absolute primogeniture will henceforth apply to his direct descendants.
