History
The title was created in 1815, as Prince Royal of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves (Príncipe Real de Portugal, Brasil, e os Algarves), when John VI of Portugal, at the time Prince-Regent for Maria I, elevated colonial Brazil to the rank of a Kingdom, creating the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves.
When Portugal recognized the independence of Brazil, in 1825, the title of the Portuguese heir apparent was changed to Prince Royal of Portugal and the Algarves.
With the deposition of the Portuguese monarchy, in 1910, and King Manuel II's death in 1932, the title was used by the head of the House of Braganza, as pretenders to the throne of Portugal.
