Prince Imperial of Mexico


Prince Imperial of Mexico was a title created after Mexico gained independence from the Spanish Empire as the First Mexican Empire. It was designated to be the official title of the heir apparent to the imperial throne of Mexico.

Only a few days after Agustín de Iturbide was created Emperor of Mexico in May 1822, his eldest son, Agustín Jerónimo de Iturbide y Huarte, was created heir apparent and invested with the title of Prince Imperial of Mexico and the honorific "Don" to accompany the title.

Only three people have ever held the title, and only one of them when it was still in legal effect. It is no longer recognized by the United Mexican States, since the Mexican Constitution of 1917 specifically prohibits the creation and use of Mexican noble titles by Mexican citizens.
