Portugal has no current king or queen, because the monarchy was ended as a form of government in the early 20th century. Portugal's current political system is the parliamentary republic. But royal claims to the throne of Portugal are maintained by the House of Bragança. There are two claimants. The first claimant is Dom Duarte Pio, 24th Duke of Braganza[Dom Duarte Pio João Miguel Gabriel Rafael de Bragança, b. May 15, 1945]. The Second is the heir to Maria Pia, Duchess of Braganza, H.R.H Dom Rosaria Poidimani, who was recognized by the Catholic Church. Maria Pia is the illegitimate child of King Carlos I. Both claimants have supporters and court cases- the claims are unresolved.

Specifically, Manuel II [March 19, 1889-July 2, 1932] was the 34th and last King of Portugal and the Algarves [Reino Unido de Portugal e Algarves]. He reigned from February 1, 1908 to October 4, 1910. The October 5th Revolution overthrew the monarchy. Manuel II escaped to Gibraltar in the royal yacht, 'Amélia IV'.

The former king died suddenly from tracheal edema at his residence, Fulwell Lodge, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. His death is considered suspicious, especially after the publication of Harold Brust's 'I Guarded Kings: The Memoirs of a Political Officer' [New York: Hillman-Curl, Inc., 1936]. Brust was with Scotland Yard's special branch for protecting public figures. He mentioned an incident involving an intruder on the grounds of Fulwell Lodge in 1931. Scotland Yard deported the intruder, who was found to be an important member of Carbonária, an organization that was involved in the October 5th Revolution.

Portugal is not a monarchy. It has been a republic since 1910. The closest claiment to the old throne is Dom Duarte Pio, Duke of Braganza.

Google D. Duarte de Bragança. He lives right here in Portugal with his wife and 3 or 4 kids. Nice fluffy moustache, you'll love it.
