The Belgian royal family is a part of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha but dropped the use of the name in the First World War for the same reason as UsefulNotes/TheBritishRoyalFamily: to avoid association with Germany and the Kaiser. Instead of renaming the dynasty, the Belgian royals started using "of Belgium"[[note]]"de Belgique" (French), "van België" (Dutch), or "von Belgien" (German)[[/note]] in their titles. The use of "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" slowly began being reintroduced in the [=21st=] century as King Philliipe wishes to trim down the monarchy and reserve "of Belgium" to those within his immediate family.\\\

Second and last Emperor of Mexico. He was one of the younger brothers of Franz Joseph I, the second-to-last Austro-Hungarian Emperor. Originally serving as the commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, he was approached by Mexican conservatives while he was visiting Napoleon III in Paris in 1856. The conservatives were waging a war against Mexican liberals over the 1857 Constitution, and they wanted a European monarch to "retake" Mexico and legitimize their crusade.

After the Civil War ended, however, the French saw the American specter in the horizon and decided to bail out of the continent. The conservatives quickly lost the war, and Maximilian was captured by the liberals in Querétaro in May 1867.

The current pretender to the Mexican throne is Maximilian von Götzen-Iturbide, Agustín de Iturbide's great-great-great-grandson and a Hungarian-born businessman currently living in Mexico. His claim is backed up by the Habsburg side, as his great-grandfather and Agustín's great-grandson, Salvador de Iturbide y Marzán, was adopted by Maximilian I.

This pissed off the United States, as it saw Mexico (and the rest of the Americas) as its backyard, but since the UsefulNotes/AmericanCivilWar occurred at the same time, it couldn't stop France from installing Maximilian as Emperor. After the Civil War ended, however, the French saw the American specter in the horizon and decided to bail out of the continent. The conservatives quickly lost the war, and Maximilian was captured by the liberals in Querétaro in May 1867. President Benito Juárez, while sympathetic to Maximilian for his liberal views, still approved for Maximilian's execution to a month later, because he wanted to make it clear to Europeans that Mexico will no longer be ruled by them again.\\\
Maximilian's wife was Charlotte of Belgium, a second cousin (they were both great-grandchildren of Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies). Charlotte was also a first cousin to UsefulNotes/QueenVictoria, and spent her childhood holidays in Windsor. She shared a mutual hostility with her sister-in-law, UsefulNotes/ElisabethOfAustria (wife of Franz Joseph I), and enjoyed her husband's overseas posting because it allowed her to avoid her presence. Maximilian made her rule Mexico whenever he was on foreign tours, technically making Charlotte the first head of state in the Americas. Charlotte was also known for [[RoyallyScrewedUp suffering from a mental illness]] that got worse as European support for the Mexican conservatives dwindled. She was in Europe when her husband was captured and executed, and was returned back to her native Belgium as her mental state deteriorated. She died in 1927, having long outlived her husband, whose execution she probably never learned about.\\\
It should be noted that while Mexico had two emperors, they were unrelated and ruled at different periods. Before Maximilian, Mexico had installed Agustín de Iturbide as Emperor in 1821, following their Independence War from Spain. Iturbide only ruled for a year before he was deposed by republicans and banished. He made a homecoming a year later... after which he was promptly arrested and executed. Mexico do ''not'' like emperors, to say the least.\\\
The current pretender to the Mexican throne is Maximilian von Götzen-Iturbide, Agustín de Iturbide's great-great-great-grandson and a Hungarian-born businessman currently living in Mexico. His claim is backed up by the Habsburg side, as his great-grandfather and Agustín's great-grandson, Salvador de Iturbide y Marzán, was adopted by Maximilian I.

The penultimate King of Italy. Known in Italian as ''Vittorio Emanuele III''. Famous for his [[TheNapoleon diminutive]] stature and frailty, which many attributed to the Savoyard penchant for inbreeding (his parents, for instance, were first cousins), though he nevertheless lived to 78. His marriage to Elena of Montenegro was partly arranged to prevent inbreeding from ruining the Savoyard gene pool. He inherited the Italian throne after his father, Umberto I, was assassinated by an anarchist. Victor Emmanuel III reigned during both World Wars. Despite being a supporter of democracy, he was helpless to stop the Fascist movement from taking over Italy, and did nothing to stop Benito Mussolini from marching on Rome in 1922 and becoming Prime Minister. During World War II, he switched sides and declared war against Germany, which was ruling the northern half of the country. The Allies pressured him to surrender his duties to his son, Umberto, and he formally abdicated in 1946. However, Umberto II only ruled for a month before the Italians voted to abolish the monarchy. Both father and son were exiled; Victor Emmanuel III moved to Egypt and died a year later, while Umberto II moved to Portugal, where he lived for 37 years, before dying in Switzerland in 1983.\\\
