Dom '''Luiz II''' (Luiz Xavier Henrique Pedro Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga; born February 21, 1983) is the current ruling Emperor of Brazil. He is the second son of Emperor Pedro IV and his wife, Empress Maria. Alongside his role, he is also the head of the [[Imperial Family of Brazil]]. He assumed the throne of Brazil in 2010 following the abdication of [[Rafael of Brazil|his brother]].
Luiz was born in Brasília and was educated privately in large schools in the city. During the 80s, when D. Luiz was still a child, like his other siblings, he was rarely seen in public, differently from their older brother Rafael who was heir to the Brazilian Throne and was seen often. He married Brazilian fashion model Camila Alves in 2004, with whom he had three children: Princess Imperial Isabel, Prince Lorenzo and Princess Alice. His brother resigned in
He is also known for expressing hard-right views and his opposition to homosexuality. Supporters have claimed he has been instrumental in restoring the moral integrity of Brazil, whilst critics have accused him of overstepping his constitutional role and making inappropriate political interventions.

Line 64 ⟶ 66:
Dom Luiz II often grants interviews, making the personal opinions of the monarch quite known. As Emperor of Brazil, Luiz periodically needs to externalize his thoughts in order to fufill his duties as the Moderating Power. In general, Dom Luiz II since his coronation has been increasingly affiliating himself with ideas of the far-right such as during the 2014 and 2018 elections, Luiz II has given an endorsement the Progressive Reform Party under the leadership of Levy Fidelix, an unprecedented move with no other monarch in Brazilian history ever explicitly supporting a political candidate or party. When asked about his decision he answered "The world is rotting, and I want to be the one who will make a move in favour of our greatest soldiers against the rot".
After the victory of Ciro Gomes' party on the election results Luiz said that "Although its with great disappointment how I see the loss of Levy, I must abide by the law along with the popular will and allow his government to be formed." The Emperor and the current Prime Minister are known to be quite cold with each other due to both men's disagreements and stubborn personalities.
The emperor is patron of over seven hundred organizations and charities. His main leisure interests include reading and time with his family. Luiz and his family usually prepare lunch together from time to time.▼

Luiz II believes that "feminism is a cancer that will destroy Brazilian society and turn my daughter into a man." A leaked insider report has indicated that these remarks have caused Isabel Maria to estrange herself from her father.
=== Climate change ===
Luiz II spoke during a public speech in 2012 that "although climate change has been scientifically proven to be real, the current consensus about global warming is a product of ecoterrorist psychosis" he later came out and expanded his claim by saying that the so called current consensus has been created by a group who uses leftist parties and ecological activism groups as a pawn whether they know it or not.
