Dona Amélia

Dona Amélia - Torel Palace Lisbon

Dona Amélia was the last Queen Consort of Portugal, wife of King Carlos I and mother of the last reigning monarch, Dom Manuel II. Born Princess Amélie of Orléans, from the French royal House of Orléans, she brought elegance, refinement, and a strong sense of duty to the Portuguese court.

As queen, she became deeply involved in charitable and social causes, particularly in public health. She championed the fight against tuberculosis and founded hospitals, orphanages, and social welfare institutions across the country — work that earned her widespread respect among the Portuguese people.

Her life, however, was marked by tragedy. In 1908, she witnessed the assassination of her husband and elder son in the Lisbon Regicide, an event that deeply shook the nation. Two years later, the monarchy was overthrown, and Dona Amélia went into exile with her surviving son.

She lived the rest of her life with dignity and discretion in France, never ceasing to love the country she once served as queen. When she died in 1951, her remains were returned to Lisbon, where she was buried in the Pantheon of the Braganza Dynasty — closing the chapter of a life devoted to service, resilience, and quiet strength.
