Prince Jaime of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Noto (born 26 June 1992) is a Spanish aristocrat and heir to the headship of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies as eldest son of Prince Pedro, Duke of Calabria.
Jaime was born on 26 June 1992 in Madrid, Spain, as the illegitimate son of Prince Pedro, then Duke of Noto (born 16 October 1968), and Sofia Landaluce y Melgarejo (born 23 November 1973). He was later legitimized by his parents' marriage, following which he was joined by six siblings – three brothers and three sisters. [1]
His paternal grandparents are Infante Carlos, Duke of Calabria (1938–2015), and his wife, Princess Anne of Orléans.
The Duke of Noto was educated at the Centro Universitario Villanueva (with a degree in law) and then obtained a master's degree in management from the IE University Business School. From September 2018 to January 2022, he was a director of the Plug and Play Tech Center in Paris and from July 2019 also in Spain. After serving as a director at Heritage Holdings from January 2022 to June 2023, he joined Aquiline Capital Partners in London in July 2023.[ citation needed ]
Jaime's grandfather, Infante Don Carlos of Spain, Duke of Calabria, had to consider whether the future marriage of Prince Pedro to Sofía Landaluce y Melgarejo would meet the conditions established in the Sovereign Act that was signed in Naples on 7 April 1829, Law no. 2362, which gave the "head of Our House of Bourbon... such authority as is necessary to protect the purity and splendour of the throne", by requiring all members of the dynasty to have formal permission to marry. This was confirmed in the Sovereign Act signed at Naples on 12 March 1836, Law no. 3331.[ citation needed ] The marriages of all members of the dynasty that had been considered capable of transmitting dynastic rights had been to royal princesses until the marriage of Prince Ranieri to Countess Carolina Zamoyska in 1929.
The ultimate decision of Infante Carlos to permit his son's marriage to be considered dynastic followed the marriages of the daughters of King Juan Carlos without them being required to renounce their right of succession to the Spanish throne, and a change in the marriage rules of the House of Austria.[ citation needed ] Infante Carlos and his wife attended the marriage of Prince Pedro on 30 March 2001, and the marriage is treated as a dynastic marriage transmitting full rights of succession to all the children of Prince Pedro and his wife.[ citation needed ] It was made clear by the date of the marriage of the future King Felipe VI in 2004 that the children of Prince Pedro and his wife had full dynastic rights, and the children bear the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince(ss) of Bourbon-Two Sicilies.

On 25 September 2021 at Monreale Cathedral in Palermo, Jaime married Lady Charlotte Lindesay-Bethune, youngest daughter of James Lindesay-Bethune, 16th Earl of Lindsay, and his wife, Diana Mary Chamberlayne-Macdonald.
On 13 October 2023, the Duke and Duchess of Noto had their first child in London – a daughter named Francesca Sofía. [4]
Francis I of the Two Sicilies was King of the Two Sicilies from 1825 to 1830 and regent of the Kingdom of Sicily from 1806 to 1814.
Infante, also anglicised as "infant" or translated as "prince", is the title and rank given in the Iberian kingdoms of Spain and Portugal to the sons and daughters (infantas) of the king, regardless of age, sometimes with the exception of the heir apparent or heir presumptive to the throne who usually bears a unique princely or ducal title. A woman married to a male infante was accorded the title of infanta if the marriage was dynastically approved, although since 1987 this is no longer automatically the case in Spain. Husbands of born infantas did not obtain the title of infante through marriage, although they were occasionally elevated to the title de gracia at the sovereign's command.
Infante Jaime of Spain, Duke of Segovia was the second son of Alfonso XIII, King of Spain and his wife Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg. He was born in the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Province of Segovia, and was consequently granted the non-substantive title of "Duke of Segovia". Upon his father’s death in 1941, Jaime inherited the Legitimist claim to the French throne and thereafter used the courtesy title "Duke of Anjou".

The House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies is a cadet branch of the House of Bourbon that ruled Southern Italy and Sicily for more than a century in the 18th and 19th centuries. It descends from the Capetian dynasty in legitimate male line through Philip, Duke of Anjou, a younger grandson of Louis XIV of France (1638–1715) who established the Bourbon dynasty in Spain in 1700 as Philip V (1683–1746). In 1759, King Philip's younger grandson was appanaged with the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily, becoming Ferdinand IV and III (1751–1825), respectively, of those realms. His descendants occupied the joint throne, merged as the "Kingdom of the Two Sicilies" in 1816, until 1861, claimed it thereafter from exile, and constitute the extant Bourbon-Two Sicilies family.
The Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George, also historically referred to as the Imperial Constantinian Order of Saint George and the Order of the Constantinian Angelic Knights of Saint George, is a dynastic order of knighthood of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. Currently, the grand magistry of the order is disputed among the two claimants to the headship of the formerly reigning House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies as heirs of the House of Farnese, namely Prince Pedro and Prince Carlo. The order was one of the rare orders confirmed as a religious-military order in the papal bull Militantis Ecclesiae in 1718, owing to a notable success in liberating Christians in the Peloponnese. Together with the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, it is one of a small number of Catholic orders that still have this status today. It is not an order of chivalry under the patronage of the Holy See, but its membership is restricted to practising Catholics.
