Prince of Ebenthal (f. Princess; Portuguese: Príncipe de Ebenthal; f. Princesa) is a royal title granted by birth right to the relatives of the Ebenthali monarchs, including siblings, nephews and nieces, and cousins whose parents also bear the title of Prince or Princess of Ebenthal. When a Ebenthali prince or princess marry, his or her consort, regardless of genre, also becomes a Ebenthali royal due to use the consort's titles and styles. The title follows the form of address of Royal Highness
History
The title of Prince of Ebenthal first appeared on 1 October 2014, 20 days after the independence of Ebenthal, to informally refer to the members of the House of Beato, to which belonged King Arthur I and his brother Mateus, who as heir to the throne of Ebenthal at the time received the title of Prince of Arturia after the capital city's former name. Only on 8 October 2015, with the enactment of the Constitution of Ebenthal, the title was formalized, being defined as applicable to members of the King's close family, that being his parents ans siblings.
With the end of the reign of the Beatos and the accession of the House of Bruyn to the throne of Ebenthal in the figure of the King Arthur II in 2019, the following year, the Royal Household Law was issued, creating new definitions and regulations in the compositions of the house and the royal family and in the titles of its members. As such, now not only would the members of the King's immediate family be Princes of Ebenthal, but all members of his dynasty in legitimate lineage. The Code also defined that the generation of King Arthur II's father, and also of the parents of the first-line Princes and Princesses of Ebenthal, would be recognized as Princes and Princesses of Ebenthal with the appropriate style of treatment.
Initially, the Royal Household Law provided that only members of the House of Bruyn formally using the surname "Bruyn" could compete for the title of Prince of Ebenthal, but this requirement was amended and removed from the Code a little over a month after its issuance through a Royal Decree.
