Royal wedding in Portugal after more than 25 years
The bride wore a plain ivory gown with three-quarter length sleeves and a V-neckline. A long veil held on her head an 800-diamond tiara inherited by the bride’s father, Duarte Pio of Braganza, after the death of the last Portuguese queen.
It was originally presented by King Louis I of Portugal to his daughter-in-law Princess Amélia of Orléans for her wedding to Crown Prince Charles I in 1886, portugalbusinessnews reports. The groom wore gray striped trousers, a cream waistcoat and a pale blue tie.

By the end of the year, the newlyweds should move to London.
Portugal has been a republic since 1910, so the current heirs to the throne are pretenders. The current head of the Portuguese royal family is the bride’s father.
Infanta
Infanta is the title of a princess, held in the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula. In addition to the children of the king (in the form of infant/infantka), it was also given to grandsons and granddaughters in the male line, and even to the children of princesses, if they were heirs to the throne. The wives of heirs could also receive the title.
