Afonso de Bragança, Prince of Beira (born 25 March 1996), is the eldest son and heir of Duarte Pio, Duke of Braganza and Isabel de Herédia, being a member of the House of Braganza he bears the title of Prince of Beira.
Early life
Afonso de Santa Maria de Bragança was born in Lisbon, the eldest child of Duarte Pio de Bragança, and Dª. Isabel Inês de Castro Curvello de Herédia.[1] His baptismal name ends with Miguel Gabriel Rafael, a family tradition of the House of Braganza that honors the three archangels in the Catholic Church.
On 1 June 1996, in the Cathedral of Braga, Afonso was baptised by Eurico Dias Nogueira, Archbishop of Braga, Primate of all the Spains.
His godparents are Infanta Elena, Duchess of Lugo and his maternal uncle, Afonso Miguel de Herédia.[2]
Immediately after his baptism at the Sé Cathedral of Braga, the young prince was consecrated in nearby Guimarães to Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, (Our Lady of the Olive Tree), where his ancestor King John I (founder of the House of Aviz), along with his illegitimate son Afonso, Duke of Braganza (founder of the House of Braganza), had been to thank her for his victory at the battle of Aljubarrota, in 1385, against his niece Queen Beatrice of Portugal and her husband John I of Castile.
Education
Afonso was educated at St. Julian's School on the Portuguese Riviera, Colégio Planalto in Lisbon, and The Oratory School, a Catholic Public School in the United Kingdom.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and International Relations from the Catholic University of Portugal at the Institute for Political Studies in Lisbon.
Succession
Afonso is first in the line of succession to the Portuguese Crown, as heir to his father, the Duke of Braganza.
In 2015, Portuguese tradition was followed and Afonso was consecrated crown prince after completing 18 years of age.[3] The ceremony took place at the Sanctuary of Lapa, in Sernancelhe.[3]
Public role
In recognition of his family's connections to Timor, particularly his father's role in supporting that country, Afonso was made an honorary Liurai in September 2014,[4] when he and his family visited the country to attend the second Senate session of the Liurais Association, which represents the descendants of the island's tribal kings.
As a public figure, Afonso has interacted with European royalty and other public figures throughout his life. In 2017, he, his brother Dinis, and their parents accompanied their sister Maria Francisca to the Bal des débutantes in Paris.[5]
In August 2018, Afonso joined as an intern in the Social and Pre-Hospitalar Emergency Department, the Voluntary Fire Brigade of Lisbon,[6][7] following in the foot steps of Afonso, Duke of Porto, who was Honorary Commander of the same brigade. The decision to join the fire brigade came after discussing Portugal's summer fires with his family and friends.
Afonso regularly volunteers in activities in the interior of Portugal aimed at the environment. In 2019, he participated in a reforestation action in Cova da Beira.[8]
Awards with his name
Afonso has sponsored awards recognizing accomplishments in several areas. The Prince of Beira Trophy is an equestrian award that was established in 2008; the winner in 2010 was Portuguese Olympic dressage rider Daniel Pinto, and Afonso presented him the award.[9][10] The Prince of Beira Award in Biomedical Sciences is an award that distinguishes researchers of excellence in the field of biomedical sciences; it is a partnership of the Universidade do Minho and the Municipality of Guimarães.[11][12]
