Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy has made the decision to relinquish his title in favor of a more modern approach to monarchy. In an interview with Fox News Digital, the Italian prince confirmed that he plans to renounce his claim to the throne for the sake of his daughter, Princess Vittoria. Currently studying political science and art history in the U.K., Princess Vittoria also works as a fashion model and has a substantial following on Instagram.

Prince Emanuele Filiberto expressed his support for the younger generation’s ability to handle uncertain matters and expressed his desire not to restrict his daughter’s opportunities. He wants her to pursue her own life and career, as the Savoy family does not hold a reigning monarchy. Princess Vittoria’s aspirations include opening a gallery and working with young artists, and her father is willing to step back and allow her to take on the role of leading the royal family in Italy when she is ready.

The decision of Prince Emanuele Filiberto to relinquish his title was first reported by The Telegraph. The House of Savoy, which ruled from 1861 to 1946 when Italy was known as the Kingdom of Italy, was established in the 11th century. Italians voted to abolish the monarchy and become a republic due to the family’s support of dictator Benito Mussolini. The Savoy family fled to Rome in 1943 to avoid the invading German army. Male heirs of the family were banished from Italy until 2002 when Parliament voted to end the exile and allow them to return as ordinary citizens. King Umberto II, Italy’s last reigning king, passed away in 1983.

Prince Emanuele Filiberto’s father, Prince Vittorio Emanuele, changed an ancient custom called the Salic Law two years ago, which had excluded women from the line of succession. The change now grants Prince Vittoria the power to eventually lead the family. According to Prince Emanuele Filiberto, his father firmly believes in gender equality in the succession process. Prince Vittoria is pleased with the decision, which was carefully discussed within the family.

While the Savoy family has no ruling power in Italy, Princess Vittoria will eventually oversee their charities, which spent around $1 million last year. This year, they plan to rebuild a music school destroyed by recent floods in Emilia-Romagna. However, education is currently Princess Vittoria’s priority. She is studying the history of her family and aims to be more involved. Prince Emanuele Filiberto believes that Princess Vittoria has the capacity to bring the House of Savoy into the 22nd century and mentions her involvement in humanitarian work, such as assisting young people and mothers at the border of Poland during the war in Ukraine.

Prince Emanuele Filiberto emphasizes that Princess Vittoria is more than just a social media influencer, even though she has a significant following on platforms like Instagram. She is studying political science and art and uses social media as a tool to bring awareness and connect with people. Prince Emanuele Filiberto is protective of his daughters and wants them to have a normal life, including understanding the value of money and experiencing different realities. He believes that their status as members of an important dynasty should not prevent them from gaining practical life experiences.

While there are no plans to restore the monarchy in Italy, Prince Emanuele Filiberto sees an opportunity for his family to support the republic through various initiatives. He believes that they can make a difference in promoting Italian history and values. Italy has been a republic for over 70 years, and Prince Emanuele Filiberto himself has pursued nontraditional paths, such as launching a food truck in Los Angeles and participating in Italy’s version of “Strictly Come Dancing.” He believes that a monarchy is unnecessary and that there are other ways to contribute to the country.
