Alfonso strips cousin of rights

October 10, 1924

King Alfonso XIII, as head of his house, had been "obliged to take the decision of depriving" his cousin, Prince Luis Fernando of Bourbon Orleans "of all his rights as an Infante of Spain."

Prince Luis is the second son of Infante Don Antonio, Duke of Galliera, and Infanta Eulalia of Spain, Alfonso's aunt.

The French Government recently "found it necessary" to expel Prince Luis from its territory.

The royal decree "depriving" Luis of his privileges "on account of bad conduct" was published earlier today in the Madrid Gazette
