Hello, AskHistorians.

I've read a little bit about Brazil. Apparently Pedro II had a daughter, but he didn't want her to inherit the throne.

From what little I know, it seemed like the monarchy was going along alright. Is this true?

What did the people think about the monarchy? How about factions ( businesspeople, average citizen, nobles if any, military, etc)?

Was there any talk about this in Portugal?

Thank you.
