On February 3, Vittorio Emanuele, son of former Italian king Umberto II and former head of the House of Savoy, died in Geneva at the age of 86. His son, Prince Emmarouel Filiberto, had earlier stated that he would give up his "throne" and pass it directly to his eldest daughter, Vittoria.
The 20-year-old Princess Vitolia is a multi-talented student studying political science and art history at the University of London. She usually likes to dance, gossip about celebrities on campus, and she will also be nervous about reviewing before the final exam.
Outside of campus, she is an influencer with nearly 100,000 followers and a star-studded supermodel, often shuttling through the runway shows of luxury brands in France, Italy, Switzerland and other places.
Of course, it was not without controversy that Princess Vittoria inherited the "throne" of House Savoy. The Aosta line, another branch of the ancient family, had long been disgruntled, believing that Princess Vittoria's Savoy-Carignano line had tarnished the family's reputation, and in particular accused Victoria's grandfather of marrying an international water skier who was not of aristocratic origin during his exile in Geneva. In addition, even if Princess Vittoria's grandfather changed the family's thousand-year-old law in 2021 to allow women to inherit the throne, they still have a hard time agreeing.
In order to win the recognition of her family and the public, Princess Vittoria is well aware of the weight on her shoulders at a young age, after all, wearing a virtual "crown" also has weight.
Make your first public appearance to assert your rights. With the help of her father, she sent a message to Macron, France, on social media, defending the rights of French private school students in front of the camera. This time, there were nearly 300,000 speeches.
However, there are still many people in Italy who have not heard of this princess. But the princess is still young, and perhaps one day the House of Savoy can follow the example of the Spanish royal family and successfully restore it, and Princess Vittoria will become the queen of Italy.
However, Princess Vittoria of Generation Z is still very pragmatic, and she is actively building her own fashion brand, after all, the development of her career will not affect her to become the future "queen".
The House of Savoy dates back to 1003 and truly ruled Italy in 1861. However, during World War II, the King of Italy was forced to abdicate in 1946 due to his cooperation with the fascist regime and went into exile in Egypt. Crown Prince Umberto II reigned for only 34 days before being deposed in a referendum on June 2, 1946, and Italy officially became a republic. At this point, the rule of the House of Savoy in Italy came to an end.
