The Order of Merit of the Portuguese Royal House (Portuguese: Ordem do Mérito da Casa Real Portuguesa or Ordem do Mérito da Causa Monárquica) is a dynastic order of knighthood for extraordinary services rendered to the Portuguese Royal House and for outstanding Merit in the Monarchist Cause.[1][2][3]
The Order, also conferred the Medal of dedication to the Monarchist Cause, Youth Medal of dedication to the Monarchist Cause and Youth Medal of Fidelity, though these are now suppressed through a reform carried out by the Grand-Master.[2][4]
The Royal Patron is the Head of the Portuguese Royal House. The Chancellor of the Order is Dr. José António da Cunha Coutinho, Baron of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira.[2]
