Royal Profile: Princess Maria Chiara of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, The Duchess of Noto, The Duchess of Capri
Princess Maria Chiara Amalia Carola Louise Carmen of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, The Duchess of Noto, The Duchess of Capri was born 1 January 2005 as the younger daughter of The Duke and Duchess of Castro {Source}. She has one older sister{Source}:
She was named for:
Her parents own homes in Monaco, Italy and Paris, but their primary residence is Monaco. I imagine she and her sister attend one of Monaco's private schools there. I also imagine with Italian parents she speaks Italian, and living in a francophone country, she speaks French. She may speak or be learning English as well (learned this on instagram today-she does understand English at least! :) ).
Even though her family is deposed royals, she occasionally attends official events. When her father was named as a godparent for Princess Josephine of Denmark, she and her family attended the baptism. In May 2012, she and her family attended a Planet Solar Ship Return Ceremony{Photos}. For her 9th birthday in June 2012, the family returned to Italy-first to Capri, then to visit the former Bourbon palace. In January 2014, she and her sister joined their parents for the beatification ceremony of Queen Maria Christina, which took place at Basilica of Santa Chiara in Naples, Italy. In May 2014, she and her family attended the first Holy Communion of Belgium's Prince Nicolas and Prince Aymeric of Belgium{Source}. In 2018, she joined her parents and sister for the UNWFPA Annual Awards Luncheon in Celebration of International Women's Day, and rang the bell at the NY Stock Exchange with her mother and sister, and attended the Fashion 4 Development's 8th Annual Official First Ladies Luncheon with her mother and sister. In 2019, she attended the funeral of The Count of Paris with her family, had a daddy-daughter outing at the 2019 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, joined her parents and sister for the wedding of Prince Jean-Christophe Napoleon to Countess Olympia von zu Arco-Zinneberg, attended the Alberta Ferretti Cruise 2020 Collection with her parents and sister and the Closing Ceremony of the 2019 Monte Carlo Television Festival
