Gabriel was the twelfth child and youngest son of Prince Alfonso, Count of Caserta, and his wife, Princess Maria Antonietta of Bourbon-Two Sicilies.[citation needed] Nicknamed Onga within his family circle, he grew up having little contact with either of the two elder brothers, Carlo (1870-1949) and Ranieri (1883-1973), whose rival claims for headship of the family and its dynastic orders "would rend loyalties the House of Bourbon-Sicily asunder into the 21st century".[1]
Gabriel married firstly Princess Malgorzata Izabella Czartoryska, daughter of Prince Adam Ludwik Czartoryski and his wife Countess Maria Ludwika Krasińska, on 25 August 1927 in Paris.[citation needed] The couple had one child before Malgorzata died in Cannes on 8 March 1929:[citation needed]
Gabriel married, secondly, Princess Cecylia Lubomirska, daughter of Prince Kasimierz Lubomirski and his wife Countess Maria Theresia Granow-Wodicka, on 15 September 1932 in Kraków.[citation needed] Gabriel and Cecylia had four children:[citation needed]
In addition to the princely status deriving from membership in the historical House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, the title of Principe de Borbón and the style of Royal Highness were specifically accorded to Gabriel de Borbón and to those of his children born of marriage contracted with the Spanish sovereign's authorization, by a Spanish royal decree issued 19 August 1920.[2]
