: Did the daughters of Queen Maria II formally
: renounce their succession rights (for
: themselves and their descendants) to the
: kingdom of Portugal, when marrying foreign
: princes? Or, if renunciation is not
: allowed, did they forfeit their rights by
: contracting unapproved marriages (despite
: the fact their husbands were equally born
: royals)?
:
: I know that in the Netherlands, voluntary
: renunciation of succession rights is not
: permitted by law. So Princess Irene simply
: married without the consent of the Dutch
: Parliaments; hence, the forfeiture of her
: and her descendants' rights. I believe that
: Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark did a similar
: thing, when marrying a foreign king (who
: was, moreover, an enthroned sovereign -- not
: just pretender). Since the Danish
: constitution does not permit the accession
: of a dynast who is the consort of a foreign
: sovereign, she simply chose not to seek
: consent for her marriage to King Constantine
: II of the Hellenes. Correct?
