[EDIT] I've just done a little more delving into that same FB group and notice that there was indeed a brief mention of Prince Felipe and his girlfriend having a daughter together in 2018; the baby girl is pictured with an older girl clearly described as her "half-sister," so it would appear that Catia does indeed already have a daughter from a prior relationship. There is no mention of any plans by the parents to marry:

With respect to the supposed younger son of Prince D. Manoel, this child would presumably have been born to his 2nd wife Dona Elisa Ariza y Rioboo, whom he married in 1995 (the 2018 date you are looking at appears to be for his son from his prior marriage, D. Manoel "Jr", who just married at the end of this past year). This phantom "son" also appears in Chris Buyers' "Royal Ark" site, likewise with no name. I recall asking a member of that same forum who has met Prince D. Manoel multiple times about this genealogical loose end; she had never heard of such a son and seemed to believe that this was an error (she has also met both of D. Manoel's children from his first marriage). This wouldn't be the only error to trickle into online references for the Petropolis branch... the "Royal Ark" page also references a supposed daughter of Prince D. Francisco Humberto, "Maria Isabel," born in 1982 to that prince's second wife, but in fact this is an error for the actual Princess Maria Elisabeth born in 1982 to the *Vassouras* Prince Francisco Maria!
I am intrigued however by Hein Bruns' reference to a natural daughter of Prince Felipe, Maria Isabel, born in 2018 to his girlfriend Catia Gisele Pereira. The young lady's FB profile does indeed display a picture of her and her daughter from 2018, but that daughter appears to have been born in 2010, whereas Ms. Pereira's relationship with Prince Felipe did not begin (at least according to her FB page...) until 2015. I wonder if Hein Bruns confirmed that this child is indeed Felipe's, or if he is making an assumption based on what he sees online? The dates would suggest the possibility that the little girl was actually born to a previous relationship.....

According to Hein Bruin's site - Descendants of King Louis Philippe, Pr. D.Pedro Carlos did remmarry in 2018 with a second Patricia.
4.1.1.2.1.Prince Pedro Carlos of Orleans and Braganza (*1945), m.1st 1975 Rony Kuhn de Souza (1938-1979), m.2nd 1981 Patrícia Alexandra Branscombe (1964-2009), m.3rd 2018 Patrícia Alvim Rodrigues
This site is definitely a must to update the junior members of the brazilian IF - marriages, births, etc., that are not publicized outside of Brazil.

OTOH
May be someone can provide the name of Pr.Manuel's son born in 1996.
He divorced his 1st wife in 1995 and the son was born in 1996 probably by another woman.
Would this woman be his 2nd wife whom he married in 2018 ?
Were they living together and only last year got married ?
4.1.2.2.4.Prince Manoel of Orleans and Braganza (*1949), m.1st 1977 (div 1995) Margarita Hafner y Lancha (*1945), m.2nd 1995 Elisa Ariza y Riobóo
4.1.2.2.4.1.Princess Luísa Cristina of Orleans and Braganza (*1978)
