A solemn investiture ceremony was held in the Magistral Chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, at the Magistral Palace of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, in the presence of His Most Eminent Highness Fra\u2019 John T. Dunlap, Prince and Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.<\/p>\n\n

The ceremony represented an event of particular significance for the Royal House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, as it marked the admission into the Sovereign Military Order of Malta of Her Royal Highness Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duchess of Calabria and Palermo, and Her Royal Highness Princess Maria Chiara of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duchess of Noto and Capri, both with the rank of Dames of Honour and Devotion.<\/p>\n\n

During the same solemn celebration, Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Grand Prefect of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George, was bestowed with the dignity of Dame Grand Cross of Honour and Devotion.<\/p>\n\n

The investiture, celebrated in the evocative setting of the Magistral Chapel, constituted a moment of profound spiritual and institutional significance, reflecting the values of faith, charity and service to others.<\/p>\n\n

The values that have characterised the mission of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta for centuries accompanied a ceremony that highlighted the bond between spiritual vocation, commitment to service and responsibility towards the community.<\/p>\n\n

The admission of Princesses Maria Carolina and Maria Chiara, together with the conferral of the dignity of Dame Grand Cross upon Princess Beatrice, thus represents a significant moment in the recent history of the Royal Family of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, marked by devotion and the determination to continue its commitment to serving the faith and one’s fellow human beings.<\/p>\n\n
