He is also a member of the Portuguese Royal Family as the brother of [[Duarte III, King of Portugal|'''Duarte III, King of Portugal''']]. ==Life== Michael was born the second son of '''King Duarte II of Portugal''' and '''Princess Maria Francisca of Brazil'''. With no legitimate male issue, in 1997 King Michael of Romania petitioned the Romanian government to amend the laws of succession to allow for male-preference primogeniture. After a decade of discussion, in 2007, the changes were approved and Michael's wife, Margareta, was named Crown Princess of Romania by her father. Michael, his wife, and daughter subsequently moved to Romania. Michael became Prince Consort of Romania upon the death of his father-in-law in 2017. ==Marriage and Issue== On 24 July 1979, Michael married '''Margareta, Queen of Romania'''. Margareta and Michael have one child, '''Anne'''. {| class="wikitable" !Photo !Name !Birth !Death !Marriage |- |[[File:Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen_Anne.jpg|frameless|150x150px]] |[[Anne, Crown Princess of Romania|Anne, Crown Princess]] |9 June 1981 | |[[Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovich of Russia]] (m. 2010); has issue |} ==Residences== <gallery> File:Residences_Romania_Royal_Palace_of_Bucharest.jpg|Royal Palace of Bucharest; Main Residence (March-May; September-November) File:Residences_Romania_Peles_Castle.jpg|Peles Castle; Winter Residence (December-February) File:Residences_Romania_Cotroceni_Palace.jpg|Cotroceni Palace; Summer Residence (June-August) File:Residences_Portugal_Queluz_Palace.jpg|Queluz Palace; Summer Residence (June-August) </gallery> ==Titles and Honours== * '''1946-1964''' Infante Miguel of Portugal * '''1964-2007''' Infante Miguel, Duke of Viseu * '''2007-2017''' Prince Michael of Romania * '''2017-present''' Michael, Prince Consort of Romania ===National Honours=== [[File:Honours_Romania_Order_of_the_Star_of_Romania.png|frameless|75x75px]] Order of the Star of Romania (2007) [[File:Honours_Romania_Order_of_the_Crown_of_Romania.gif|frameless|75x75px]] Order of the Crown of Romania (1979) ===Foreign Honours=== [[File:Honours_Portugal_Order_of_the_Tower_and_Sword.png|frameless|75x75px]] Order of the Tower and Sword (1979) (Portugal) [[File:Honours_Portugal_Order_of_Aviz.png|frameless|75x75px]] Order of Aviz (1964) (Portugal) ==Ancestry== {| class="wikitable" |+ !Parents !Grandparents !Great-Grandparents !Great-Great-Grandparents |- |[[King Duarte II of Portugal]] |[[Infante Miguel of Portugal]] [[Princess Maria Theresa of Lowenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg]] |[[King Miguel of Portugal]] [[Princess Adelaide of Lowenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg]] [[Charles, Prince of Lowenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg]] [[Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein]] |[[King John VI of Portugal]] [[Infanta Carlota Joaquina of Spain]] [[Hereditary Prince Constantine of Lowenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg]] [[Princess Agnes of Hohenlohe-Langenburg]] [[Hereditary Prince Constantine of Lowenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg]] [[Princess Agnes of Hohenlohe-Langenburg]] [[Alois II, Prince of Liechtenstein]] [[Countess Franziska of Wchinitz-Tettau]] |- |[[Princess Maria Francisca of Brazil]] |[[Emperor Pedro III of Brazil]] [[Countess Elisabeth of Dobrzenicz]] |[[Prince Gaston, Count of Eu]] [[Empress Isabel of Brazil]] [[Jan, Count of Dobrzenicz]] [[Countess Elisabeth of Kottulin-Krzizkowitz]] |[[Louis, Duke of Nemours]] [[Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]] [[Emperor Pedro II of Brazil]] [[Princess Teresa Cristina of the Two Sicilies]] [[Baron Johann Nepomuk of Dobrzenicz]] [[Marie Friederike von Rzenicz]] [[Josef, Count of Kottulin-Krzizkowitz]] [[Countess Adelheid of Attems-Heilgenkreuz]] |} ==Lines of Succession== {| class="wikitable wiki-table" |+ ! colspan="3" |Michael, Prince Consort of Romania House of Braganza Born: 3 December 1946 |- | colspan="3" |<center>'''Lines of Succession'''</center> |- |<center>Preceded by</center> |<center>Succession to the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] throne</center> |<center>Followed by</center> |- |<center>[[Maria Francisca, Princess of Turnovo]]</center> |<center>5th in the line of succession</center> |<center>[[Anne, Crown Princess of Romania]]</center> |} [[Category:Portugal]] [[Category:House Braganza]] [[Category:Romania]] [[Category:Consorts of Romania]] [[Category:Consorts]]
