Heiress to thrones

Infanta Alicia is heiress to the throne of the Kingdom of Navarre if its traditional succession law (male-preference primogeniture) is followed, according to her son's official website.[3]
If France had adopted male-preference primogeniture before the death of Henri, comte de Chambord, she would also be the current pretender to the French throne. This line follows the Count of Chambord's older sister, Louise Marie Thérèse d'Artois, mother of Robert I, Duke of Parma, father of Elias, Duke of Parma, father of Infanta Alicia.
As the heir-general of Louis XIV of France and Maria Theresa of Spain,[4] Infanta Alicia is also the representative of the ancient kings of Castile, Aragon, Naples and Sicily. Thus her son Infante Carlos, Duke of Calabria will at her death not only be the direct senior genealogical representative of Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies but also of the longest reigning dynasty in Naples and Sicily, which ruled Sicily from 1282 and Naples from 1442, until 1700 with the death of King Charles II of Spain who ruled both kingdoms through a viceroy when the two thrones passed temporarily to the Habsburgs and Savoys until restored to the Bourbons, as heirs of the ancient kings, in 1734.
If the marriage of Maria Beatrice of Savoy to her uncle is counted as illegal, then Alicia, as heir of Maria Beatrice's next sister, would be the Jacobite pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, France and Ireland.[5] However, English and Scots law in 1688 (after which point Jacobites must admit it to be static, as changes would require the approval of the monarch, who they hold is not the person actually on the throne) stated that a marriage contracted outside of the realms was not challenged if it was legal in its own land; thus, since Maria Beatrice and her mother's brother Francis IV, Duke of Modena received the Pope's consent to marry, Alicia's claim is weak.
She is also the heir-general of both Stephen of England and John of Scotland; through the latter's descent from Saint Margaret of Scotland, she also represents the line of the English kings descended from Egbert of Wessex.
