Prince Royal ( Portuguese : Principe Real ) was the title held by the heir apparent or the heir presumptive to the throne of the Kingdom of Portugal , from 1825 to 1910. ^[1]

The eldest son of the Prince Royal held the title of Prince of Beira .

History [ edit ]

The title of Prince Royal (Principe Real) was created in 1815, when the prince regent D. Joao (future King Joao VI of Portugal ) elevated the State of Brazil to the rank of a kingdom within the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves . At this moment the old title of Prince of Brazil was extinct.

With the deposition of the Portuguese monarchy , in 1910, and King Manuel II 's death in 1932, the title became abeyant.
