Pedro Luiz of Orléans-Bragança (12 January 1983 – 1 June 2009) was the son of Antônio of Orléans-Braganza and Christine of Ligne. His brothers were Rafael, Amélia and Maria Gabriela, he was the great-great-grandson of Princess Isabel, the last Princess Imperial of Brazil, and of the Prince Imperial consort Gaston of Orléans, Count of Eu, and great-great-grandson of Emperor Pedro II and Empress Teresa Cristina.
His childless uncle, Bertrand of Orléans-Braganza, is one of the two current claimants to the former Brazilian crown, having Pedro's father, Antônio, as his immediate successor. As such, some Brazilian monarchists expected Pedro Luiz to eventually become the pretender to the abolished throne. Instead, his younger brother, Rafael, took his place in the line of succession upon legal declaration of Pedro Luiz' death in the crash of Air France Flight 447.

Cameron Norrie's bid to crack the French Open last 16 came undone once again as Italy's Lorenzo Musetti outclassed the British number one.
Norrie, 27, lost in the Roland Garros third round for the third successive year with the 6-1 6-2 6-4 defeat.
Norrie, who was seeded 14th, is ranked higher than Musetti, but the Italian 17th seed had more quality in a composed display on the Paris clay.
Norrie's exit means there are no British players left in the singles.
It also ended the possibility of Norrie facing top seed Carlos Alcaraz in the fourth round, with Musetti advancing to play either the 20-year-old Spaniard or Canadian 26th seed Denis Shapovalov.
The pair are playing their third-round match in Friday's night session on Court Philippe Chatrier.

Manchester United were favourite for winning a double of their own as they had recently beaten Chelsea to the Premier League title two weeks earlier. The game was widely considered to be a disappointment by pundits and fans alike.

Manchester City remain on course for the Treble after Ilkay Gundogan scored twice to give them victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Having already won the Premier League title, City now go into next Saturday's Champions League final against Inter Milan in Istanbul with the opportunity to emulate United's feat of 1999.
And City captain Gundogan was the big game match-winner again, assuring his place in history with the quickest goal in FA Cup final history, a stunning volley after only 12 seconds eclipsing Louis Saha's strike for Everton after 25 seconds against Chelsea in 2009.
Manchester United equalised after 33 minutes when the video assistant referee ruled that Jack Grealish had handled, Bruno Fernandes coolly sending Stefan Ortega the wrong way from the spot.
It was Gundogan, as he does so often, who made the decisive contribution when he volleyed Kevin de Bruyne's free-kick past United keeper David de Gea six minutes after the break to give City the FA Cup for the seventh time.
AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic will leave the club after their final match of the season against Hellas Verona on Sunday.
The Serie A side said they would hold a "brief ceremony" for the 41-year-old Swede to "say goodbye".
"AC Milan would like to thank Zlatan for the magnificent time that we have spent together," the club said.
Ibrahimovic rejoined Milan in 2019 and helped them to win the Serie A title last season.
However he has played only four times and started one match for the side this term - and scored one goal - following a series of injuries, and his contract will not be renewed when it expires at the end of June.
The former Malmo, Ajax, Inter, Barcelona, Paris St-Germain, LA Galaxy and Manchester United man also won the league title in his first spell with the club in 2011.
