Some Questions, Henri (I have not found the answers in the Benelux board thread, either):
- Who has announced the marriage? Any official communique by the Duke of Parma?
- Is the bride Catholic?
- If his father has issued a communique, how is Carlos Javier referred? Is the the Prince of Piacenza, the Duke of Madrid or simply Prince Carlos Javier de Bourbon de Parme?
If would be interesting to know the answers to these questions. Thanks.
