The Prince of Ghassan has been receiving a series of laughable attacks suggesting that “he cannot be real because he’s Brazilian and an actor”.
The most amusing is that the Prince has always proudly advertised the aforementioned information.
That’s obviously a colossal ignorance based upon the lack of information about deposed sovereign families and their standing vis a vis with international law.
Here are the easily verifiable facts:
Many deposed princes were born in exile. Especially if there’s some kind of persecution and/or constitutional prohibition. Just as an example, the princes of Italy Emanuele Filiberto and Portugal Dom Duarte Pio were born in Switzerland, the prince of Brazil Dom Bertrand of Orleans-Braganza was born in France and the prince of Albania Leka was born in South Africa. The head of the House of Habsburg (Austria-Hungary) Karl was born in Germany. The king emeritus of Spain, Juan Carlos I was born in Italy.
Arab immigration to Brazil started in the 1890s as Lebanese and Syrian people fled the political and economic instability caused by the collapse of the Ottoman Empire; the vast majority were Christian.
Today is estimated that the Lebanese population is around 4 million people and there are more than 8 million Lebanese living in Brazil. On top of that, around 5 million Syrians. Arab Brazilians are well integrated into Brazilian society. Today, only a minority of Arab Brazilians still know and speak the Arabic language, the vast majority of them being monolingual Portuguese speakers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Brazilians
The Arab Brazilians are so influential that in 2016 His Excellency Michel Temer, the son of a Maronite Catholic Lebanese immigrant, became the 37th president of Brazil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Temer
Yes, the prince is an actor/director/producer/musician/painter. In some people’s abundant ignorance, a prince cannot be an artist. Maybe in the Middle Ages! Just a few examples: HM King Abdullah II of Jordan had a cameo on Star Trek and HSH Princess Stephanie of Monaco had a career as a singer in Europe in the 80s (below)
More examples: HRH Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom (appeared in the Young Victoria movie); HRH Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark (actress in Hollywood – originally on The Bold and The Beautiful); the 5th Baron Hayden-Guest (known professionally as Christopher Guest – star of many zany comedies); Princess Akosua Busia of the Royal House of Wenchi (Ghana – and her father was Prime Minister of Ghana – she co-starred in The Color Purple); HRH Princess Catherine Oxenberg (daughter of Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia – starred in ABC nighttime soap-opera Dynasty). These are just a few actors who are real Royals (or have Noble titles) and none is questioning them…
