Assuming the last Gotha in which their grandfather the old Duke of Braganza had input was the 1926 edition (he died in 1927), it appears the Braganza teenagers, living in New York at the time, were demoted at the request of either the new Duke of Braganza (their father's much younger half-brother) or by those acting on the new duke's behalf.
The matter of their succession rights aside, was there Portuguese royal precedent or any legal merit to the minor-age princes being stripped of the rank and titles accorded to them at birth?
