On the occasion of the couple’s fortieth wedding anniversary, the Brazilian Imperial House has released several new photos of Prince Antônio and Princess Christine. The images were taken at their home in the Rio de Janeiro neighbourhood of Botafogo.
On 26 September 1981, Prince Antônio of Orleans and Bragança (b.1950) religiously married Princess Christine de Ligne (b.1955) at the bride’s ancestral home, the Château de Beloeil. The couple went on to have four children: Prince Pedro Luiz (1983-2009), Princess Amélia (b.1984; married James Spearman), Prince Rafael (b.1986), and Princess Maria Gabriela (b.1989).
Our best wishes to Dom Antônio and Dona Christina on their Ruby Wedding Anniversary!
