Prince of Grão-Pará
The Prince of Grão-Pará was the title bestowed on the eldest son of the Prince Imperial of Brazil. The title holder was the second in the line of succession to the throne of the Empire of Brazil, after the Prince Imperial. The title was established by article 105 of the 1824 Brazilian Constitution, which read:
The only holder of the title under the constitution was Prince Pedro de Alcântara of Orléans-Braganza, who was the eldest son of Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil, and grandson of Emperor Pedro II. He held the title from his birth in 1875 until after the Brazilian monarchy was abolished in 1889.
The only known documented and official exception was Princess Maria da Glória, who was created Princess of Grão-Pará in her own right by her father, Pedro I of Brazil, after the birth of his heir apparent, Prince Imperial Pedro. She used the title in her capacity as second in the line of succession to the Brazilian throne from December 1825 to April 1826, until her father abdicated the throne of Portugal in her favor, and she became Queen Maria II.
However, after the fall of the monarchy, the family maintained the use of their titles of right. In 1909 Prince Pedro Henrique of Orléans-Braganza was born, son of Prince Luís, styled Prince Imperial of Brazil, and therefore was titled Prince of Grão-Pará until the death of his father in 1920, becoming Prince Imperial.List of Princes of Grão-Pará
