I'm removing the following passage from the article: "He married against his father's wishes, and this morganatic marriage invalidates him as heir of the crown of Two-Sicilies." First, Prince Don Pedro is not known to have married against his father's personal wishes -- both of his parents attended the wedding -- rather, he married without his father's dynastic consent. Second, by marrying without the dynastic consent of the Head of House, Don Pedro's issue by that wife do not enjoy dynastic titles or rights. Therefore, none of the children of this marriage can inherit the pretendership to the throne of the Two Sicilies. But Don Pedro's right to succeed his father as pretender remains intact. The relevant law is quite clear: "One cannot consider as legitimate nor capable of having any political or civil effect, the marriages of those composing the royal Family that are not preceded by Our consent, accorded under form of decree." Nothing is said here or elsewhere about any forfeiture of the marrying dynast's own right to succeed. Don Pedro's father has now acknowledged the right of his son's wife to the style and title "Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Noto". But he has not yet clarified whether this recent upgrade in the wife's status signals that the children have been de-morganatized. Lethiere 05:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
According to Guy Stair Sainty, for several decades the de facto agent of Infante Don Carlos to the English-speaking world, his eldest son is expected to assume the title "Duke of Calabria", but not until sometime after his father's official funeral in November 2015.
