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.
