Portuguese Royal Family

The Portuguese Royal Family was the ruling dynasty of Portugal from the 12th century until the monarchy was abolished in 1910. They belonged to the House of Braganza, with monarchs like Pedro IV and Maria II. The royal family held political power and represented national unity, but their influence waned with the rise of constitutional monarchy. After the monarchy's fall, the family became private citizens, though some members remain symbolic figures. Today, they are often involved in cultural, charitable, and diplomatic activities, maintaining a historical and cultural legacy in Portugal.
