Luís Filipe Maria Carlos Amélio Fernando Víctor Manuel António Lourenço Miguel Rafael Gabriel Gonzaga Xavier Francisco de Assis Bento was born inLisbon, the elder son ofCarlos,Prince Royal of Portugal (later King Carlos I of Portugal), and PrincessAmélie d'Orléans, a member of theHouse of Braganza.[1]
Two years after his birth, Dom Luís Filipe inherited all his father's royal princely titles when his father became king. He was himself re-styled Prince Royal, and at the same time inherited the Dukedom of Braganza (as 21st Duke), which brought with it the largest private fortune in Portugal at that time, completely at the disposal of the heir to the Portuguese crown.
In 1907, the Prince Royal acted as regent of the kingdom while his father was outside the country. The same year he made a very successful official visit to the Portuguese colonies in Africa, the first member of the royal family ever to visit them.
Dom Luís Filipe was the pupil of the African war heroMouzinho de Albuquerque, and like all the Braganzas, showed many aptitudes in the arts, besides his pursuing a military education. Around the time of Dom Luís Filipe's assassination, negotiations for marriage to his cousinPrincess Patricia of Connaught were underway. Princess Patricia was the granddaughter of QueenVictoria of the United Kingdom andPrince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the daughter of BritishPrince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, andPrincess Louise Margaret of Prussia.
On 1 February 1908, Luís Filipe and his family were returning to Lisbon fromVila Viçosa Palace.Alfredo Luís da Costa andManuel Buiça, two members of a revolutionary society called theCarbonária, shot at all the royal family, hitting his father King Carlos, Luís Filipe, and his younger brotherInfante Manuel, Duke of Beja. Carlos I died immediately, while Luís Filipe lived for another twenty minutes. Manuel survived the attack, having only been shot in the arm, while the queen was unharmed.
Manuel succeeded to the throne as Manuel II. Luís Filipe is buried next to his father and forefathers in theRoyal Pantheon of the House of Braganza inLisbon. His younger brother, King Manuel II of Portugal, and his mother, QueenMaria Amélia, are buried opposite.
On 5 October 1910, the monarchy under the reign of his surviving younger brother, Manuel II, wasoverthrown in a military coup and theFirst Portuguese Republic was established.
