Current claimants

* Prince Pedro, Duke of Calabria is the current heir-general to the kingdom of Navarre, under the kingdom's own laws which allowed female succession, unlike the Salic law of France. * Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou, is the current Legitimist claimant to the kingdoms of France and Navarre. His claim to the Navarrese throne is based on its unification with the French throne under Louis XIII, excluding any subsequent female succession following French succession law. *Jean, Count of Paris, is the current Orleanist claimant to the kingdoms of France and Navarre. His claim to the Navarrese throne is based on its unification with the French throne under Louis XIII, excluding any subsequent female succession following French succession law. * Felipe VI of Spain uses the title King of Navarre as part of his more List of titles and honours of the Spanish Crown, extended titulary, inherited from earlier monarchs of Spain (Castile and Aragon) and based on the conquest of the majority of the ancient kingdom by Ferdinand II of Aragon. * Sixtus Henry of Bourbon-Parma claims the title King of Navarre as all titles of the List of titles and honours of the Spanish Crown, Hispanic Monarchy based on the conquest of the ancient kingdom by Ferdinand II of Aragon.
