Before becoming King of Spain, Carlo had already obtained the title of Duke of Chablis, which naturally doesn't count here. However, Carlo's eldest son, Juan Fernando, is already the first heir to the Spanish throne and is likewise the first heir to the Duke of Chablis title. In such a situation, receiving the title of Count of Genoa shows the great regard of Vittorio Emanuele II.
Unfortunately for several newspaper editors, Austria-Hungary seems not to have bestowed a title on the newly born Spanish prince.
Otherwise, being granted noble titles from two foreign countries at birth would surely be big news, attracting more people's interest.
Fortunately, their disappointment did not last long. Not long after, Carlo made another major decision, granting his eldest son, Juan Fernando, the title of Duke of Montblanc.
In the Spanish nobility system, the Duke of Montblanc is relatively special, especially for the Catalonia Region.
