Princess Maria Chiara’s royal lineage
Princess Maria Chiara of Bourbon Two Sicilies, Duchess of Noto and Capri, was born in Rome on January 1, 2005 and currently lives between Paris, Monte Carlo and Rome, according to her family’s official website.
This branch of the Spanish royal family hails from the Capetian Dynasty. It ruled over Southern Italy and Sicily during the 18th and 19th centuries. While the kingdom no longer exists, the family title is still used today.
She speaks, reads and writes six languages
Maria Chiara was brought up with the best education. She had private lessons with personal tutors and followed the International Cambridge Educational system and the CNED course before graduating in March 2020 at the age of 15, states her bio.

Jet-setting across the globe
This royal sure likes to travel and it seems, unlike many other popular blue bloods, she does it for pleasure rather than business. From trips to Saint-Tropez, Côte d’Azur in the French Riviera and Budapest to Madrid and Morocco, it seems like Maria Chiara is constantly on the go – and she does it ever so fashionably.
