His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince Bertrand of Orleans-Braganza, The Prince Imperial of Brazil to address the 2014 Blessed Karl Event
in Washington, DC
in Washington, DC
H.I.R.H. Prince Bertrand Prince Bertrand of Orleans-Braganza, the Prince Imperial of Brazil will speak at a reception following a 7:00 p.m. Solemn High Traditional Latin Mass at St. Mary’s Church honoring the feast day of Blessed Karl of Austria.
His Imperial and Royal Highness is a best-selling author, lawyer, pro-life leader, and prominent Catholic layman in the nation with the world’s largest Catholic population. In a rare visit to the United States, he will speak about principles of a Christian social order as seen in the life of Blessed Karl.
Prince Bertrand is a cousin of both Emperor Karl and Empress Zita: the three of them descend from the Second Patron of Christendom Restoration Society, King St. Louis IX of France, King St. Ferdinand of Castile, Queen St. Elizabeth of Portugal, and St. Nuno Alvares Pereira, the Lord High Constable of Portugal.
As brother of Prince Luiz, the head of the Imperial House of Brazil, Prince Bertrand would be next in line to the throne if the monarchy were to be restored. The Imperial Family was deposed by a military coup in 1889, after Prince Bertrand’s great-grandmother, Princess Isabel, while exercising the function of Regent of the Empire, granted emancipation to all slaves, at great personal risk. A process for her beatification has been opened by the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro.
Prince Bertrand is very active in the defense of life, the family and private property, speaking out on all issues concerning
Christian Civilization. He is founder and leader of the Peace in the Countryside campaign, promoting social harmony in
Brazilian agriculture. His book "Psicose Ambientalista" (Environmental Psychosis) has become a best-seller in Brazil.
