Royal Family of Portugal

The Royal Family of Portugal was the monarchy that ruled Portugal until it was abolished in 1910. It consisted of the reigning monarch, their heirs, and relatives, all part of a hereditary system. The family played a central role in governance, culture, and national identity. Portugal’s monarchy was characterized by noble titles and royal traditions. After the monarchy ended, the royal family remained a symbol of national history and heritage, with some members advocating for a constitutional monarchy or preserving their cultural legacy. Today, they are recognized as private citizens, not reigning sovereigns.
