Talk:Infante Afonso, Prince of Beira
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have a small question. If Afonso is the Prince of Beira, how can he be and Infante? If he is a prince he is not an infante, right? Isn't the tite infante inadequate for the eldest son of the monarch (in this case, pretender)? If you see Felipe, Prince of Asturias his article starts with Don Felipe, Prince of Asturias, while his sister's article starts with The Infanta Elena, Duchess of Lugo.

- The current Prince of Portugal is D. Duarte Pio. If he become king then Afonso will be Prince and not Infante.Câmara 12:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Duarte Pio is Royal Prince, because he is the first in the line of succession.
- Anfonso is Infante and is Prince of Beira because he is the second in the line of succesion.
