Does this mean that all five were legally Bourbons, as well as Wittelsbachs? It goes without saying that in Bavaria, they would never have been styled with the surname Bourbon ("when in Rome, do as Romans do"). But were they ever referred to thus in Spain?
As for titles: just how exactly does the Prinz/ Prinzessin title translate into Spanish, anyway? I know that cadet members of the royal family of Spain are typically styled as Infante/Infanta; however, the heir apparent is known as the Prince of the Asturias. But none of the children of Adalbert and Amalia ever held that status.
What exactly did the Spanish press call them, if anything? The same question could apply to the next generation -- specifically, the children of Prince Ludwig Ferdinand of Bavaria and Infanta Maria de la Paz of Spain.
