Royalty. Luís Filipe of Braganza, Prince Royal of Portugal, was the eldest son and heir-apparent of King Carlos I of Portugal and his wife, Amélie d'Orléans. Born Luís Filipe Maria Carlos Amélio Fernando Víctor Manuel António Lourenço Miguel Rafael Gabriel Gonzaga Xavier Francisco de Assis Bento de Bragança in Belém Palace, Lisbon, on March 21, 1887, his father was still Prince Royal of Portugal and he received the usual style of the sons of the heir of the Portuguese crown: 4th Prince of Beira at birth, with the subsidiary title of 14th Duke of Barcelos. He was baptised on April 14 having for godparents his paternal grandfather and maternal grandmother. After his grandfather King Luís I of Portugal died on October 19, 1889, he became Prince Royal of Portugal with the subsidiary titles 21st Duke of Braganza, 20th Marquis of Vila Viçosa, 28th Count of Barcelos, 25th Count of Ourém, 23rd Count of Arraiolos and 22nd Count of Neiva. This brought with it the largest private fortune in Portugal at that time, completely at the disposal of the heir to the Portuguese crown. Since his adolescence, the Prince Royal was gradually integrated into official functions and participated in the official visits of foreign heads of state such as Edward VII in April 1902 or that of French President Émile Loubet. Also, the heir to the crown traveled abroad several times, namely to represent the Portuguese King, in Westminster, at the Coronation of his cousin Edward VII, in June 1902. There in London he was decorated as Knight of the Order of the Garter, the penultimate Portuguese to to have that honor - the last one would be his brother. In 1905, the Prince Royal acted as regent of the kingdom while his father was outside the country. Luís Filipe also traveled to Madrid, later that year, to attend the wedding of his cousin King Alfonso XIII of Spain with Princess Victoria of Battenberg, where he escaped a bomb attack by an anarchist against the Spanish monarch. Pursuant to article 112 of the Constitutional Charter on April 13, 1906, Constitution he had sworn in in 1901, he took a seat on the Council of State, the possession of a place that was inherently his at the age of 18. In 1907 he made a very successful official visit to the Portuguese colonies in Africa, the first member of the royal family ever to visit them, passing through Angola, São Tomé and Príncipe, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Rhodesia and South Africa. Luís Filipe was the pupil of the African war hero Mouzinho de Albuquerque, and like all the Braganzas, showed many aptitudes in the arts, besides his pursuing a military education. Around the time of Luís Filipe's assassination, negotiations for marriage to his cousin Princess Patricia of Connaught were underway. On February 1, 1908, the royal family returned from the palace of Vila Viçosa to Lisbon. They travelled in the royal train to Barreiro and from there took a boat to cross the Tagus River. They disembarked at Cais das Colunas in the principal square of downtown Lisbon, the Terreiro do Paço. On their way to the Necessidades Palace, the carriage carrying Carlos and his family passed through the Rua do Arsenal. While crossing the square and turning to the street, several shots were fired from the crowd by at least two men (Alfredo Luís da Costa and Manuel Buíça), among others. The King died immediately, Prince Luís Filipe was mortally wounded and Infante Manuel was hit in the arm, yet Queen Amélie was surprisingly unharmed after trying to defend her youngest son, the new King Manuel II, with the flower bouquet she kept in her hand. The two assassins were shot on the spot by members of the royal bodyguard and later were recognized as members of the Portuguese Republican Party and of their masonic left-wing organisation Carbonária. About twenty minutes later, Prince Luís Filipe died and the next day Manuel was acclaimed King of Portugal, the last of the Braganza dynasty. The assassination of King Carlos and the Prince Royal was the effective end of a constitutional monarchy in Portugal (later confirmed by the October 5, 1910 revolution that established the Portuguese First Republic). Luís Filipe is buried in the Pantheon of the House of Braganza, in the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, in the same tomb as his father, next to his brother and opposite of his mother, who both died in exile, in 1932 and 1951, respectively.
