He generally uses the Italian form of his name Carlo. Carlo was educated firstly at the Institute of the Marist Fathers at Toulon, France. He went on to study at a namesake of the Collège Stanislas de Paris located in Nice, France. After studying at an international university in Paris, he spent three years working for a public relations firm in Manhattan. He is fluent in Italian, French and English. Headship of the House of Bourbon Two Sicilies In 2008, Carlo succeeded his father as claimant to the headship of the House of the Two Sicilies. As head of the house, he uses the title Duke of Castro. Carlo's supporters state that since his grandfather's brother Infante Carlos renounced his rights and those of his successors to succession to the throne of the Two Sicilies in 1900, the headship of the house passed to Carlo's grandfather Ranieri, Duke of Castro, then to Carlo's father Ferdinand, Duke of Castro, and most recently to Carlo.[2][3] Infante Carlos's claims to be the Duke of Calabria and head of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies are recognized by the Spanish king Juan Carlos of Spain (since they are cousins), while the other royal families (and all others Bourbon-Two Sicilies members) recognize the Castro claim.[4] Carlo claims the disputed Grand Mastership of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George, the Order of Saint Ferdinand and Merit, the Order of St. Januarius, the Order of Saint George and Reunion, and the Royal Order of Francis I. Orders and decorations Carlo has been decorated with a number of dynastic and state honours.[5] They include: Knight Grand Cross of Merit of the Italian Republic – Italian Republic.[6] Bailiff Knight Grand Cross of Honour and Devotion – Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Knight Grand Cross of the Equestrian Order of Saint Agatha – Republic of San Marino. Syrian Order of Outstanding Merit (First Class) – Syrian Arab Republic. Lebanese Order of Merit (Extraordinary Class) – Lebanese Republic. Order of Unification – 22 May (First Class with Collar) – Republic of Yemen. Knight Grand Cross of the National Order of Juan Mora Fernandez – Republic of Costa Rica. Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Vasco Nunez Balboa – Republic of Panama Knight Grand Cross with Silver Star of the Royal Order of Danilo I – Royal House of Montenegro. Knight Grand Cross of the Patriarchal Order of the Holy Cross of Jerusalem – Melkite Greek Catholic Church. In October 2011, the Duke of Castro was granted the Freedom of the City of London.[7] Marriage and issue Carlo is married to Camilla Crociani.[8] They have two children:[8] Princess Maria-Carolina Chantal Edoarda Beatrice Januaria of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (born in Rome in 2003) Princess Maria Chiara Amalia Carola Louise Carmen of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (born in Rome 2005) Royal Godfather On 14 April 2011, the Duke and Duchess of Castro attended the joint christening of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark's twin children, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine at the chapel of the Church of Holmen in Copenhagen, Denmark.
