Princess Ana is not even officially Alteza Real, because of the protests of one person in the family when her husband was made an `infante. Before that date she had always been Alteza Real at protocol events as Don Carlos was invited as the head of the BDS family and appeared in the protocols (for example at the wedding of Infanta Elena as such even though he as already an Infante), with Princess An as S.A.R. Then, as personnel changed in the royal household, she was suddenly not listed as Alteza Real despite her birth and marriage. The real disgrace is that she was never given the title of Infanta saw walked behind her husband often - now it is too late to change this. The late of 1987 was supposed to clatify all this but it has made for more confusion between the private acts of the King, such as the appointment of Pedro de BDS as president of the council of the military orders in which he was accorded the title S.A.R. and the decree was signed “Yo el Rey’` whereas legally in Spain he is still “Exc.mo Sr”. I think perhaps there may be some clarification in the future. This situation exists in the UK where there is an official protocol governing the titles of the royal family, yet when the `hannover princes were married, the official notice in the Gazette in which the order in council authorisjng their marriages was published, accorded them all their royal titles.
