Danielane said:Thanks for the correction. It's not its legitimacy but his rights to the italian throne who are doubtful.
In fact, his father's place in the line is doubtful: has king Umberto debuke his son VE's marriage? If he had publicly done it, no probleme would have been raised. But Umberto didn't rebuke nor approve. He granted his grand-son prince of Venice. Some experts wanted to see in this act the proof the former king recognized his son and grandson's rights. The Aosta branch and its supporter doesn't agree with this interpretation and have stated (and are still stating) that king Umberto should have publicly approved his son's marriage in order to recognize his son's rights.
So the situation is unclear, and many watchers are more and less secretly hoping the princess of Venice is going to have only daughters. That would end the battle.

Roxsteve said:I think Emanuelle Filiberto must be the best looking prince. He far surpasses Felipe and all the other ones. He is very handsome and his wife really pretty.
