But I agree with you about Jaime being Dutch Ambassador and being active in carlist activities and using carlist titles.

: For some really strange reason the Carlist
: claim of the Parma branch are not at all
: taken seriously in The Netherlands.
:
: If Carlos had been the Jacobite claimant tot
: the UK throne and had officially stated to
: be HM the King of England and Scotland I'm
: certain his brother would not have been
: appointed as Ambassador to the Holy See
: without formally distancing himself of those
: claims. For some reason this did not happen
: when Jaime made a career as a Dutch
: diplomat.
:
: Personally I'm appalled that the Dutch
: foreign office has not demanded a full
: public statement from Jaime before
: appointing him as ambassador. Im also
: surprised that Beatrix and Willem-Alexander
: who both seem to have a good relationship
: with Juan-Carlos, Sofia, Felipe and Letizia
: have never felt the need to demand of Carlos
: and the rest of his branch to quit the
: Carlist claims and limit themselves to their
: real role as the heirs of the Parma-dynasty.
:
: The fact that the Dutch and Spanish families
: are that close I'm guessing that the
: Spainish Royals have made it clear they are
: in no way threatened or insulted by the
: Carlist pretentions of the Parma-branch or
: things should have been different.
: Im also surprised the Spanish government has
: never officially complained to the Dutch
: court that hosting official events attended
: by someone denying that the Sovereign of
: Spain is Felipe VI and Not Carlos Javier is
: insulting the democratic and constitutional
: rule of Spain. Im hoping that will happen so
: the bloated up branch of Irene's line gets
: their reality check.
: They have chosen to be Dutch nobles and that
: is what they now are. No longer a Royal
: Dynasty and certainly not sovereigns of
: Spain.

: The same can be said about Luis Alfonso de

: Royal Family. But I guess Guy does not have
: the same opinion.

: I don't always agree with Guy but here we're
: on the same page. Pursing the Carlist claim
: seems pointless & only serves to isolate
: them from the other royal families. Had the
: current duke waived any such claim, I
: suspect he'd find himself representing the
: Dutch RF at various functions &
: generally more integrated into network of
: RF's.
