'''Michael, Prince Consort of Romania''' (born ''Infante Miguel of Portugal'' on 3 December 1946) is a member of the Romanian Royal Family as the current Prince consort. 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'''.
