Duke of Aosta offers condolences

 The death of my uncle Vittorio, Prince Victor-Emmanuel of Savoy, saddens me deeply.” 2/5

“With him, almost three years after the loss of my father, this death closes a chapter in the history of Italy and our house.

In these difficult times, I renew my friendship, with Princess Marina, and Prince Emanuele-Filiberto of Savoy,  Princess Clotilde, her daughters, Princesses Victoria and Luisa, Princesses Maria-Pia, Maria-Gabrielle and Maria-Beatrice.”

Prince Aimone describes the late prince as his uncle.  The relationship is more distant. The present Duke of Aosta and Prince Vittorio Emanuele are third cousins once removed.
