Emanuele Filiberto grew up in exile since the Italian constitution at the time prohibited the male issue of the Savoy kings of Italy from entering or staying on Italian territory. Since returning to Italy following the lifting of the ban in 2002, he has made many appearances on national television, including his participation as a contestant in Ballando con le stelle (the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars), and the Sanremo Music Festival.
He is married to French actress Clotilde Courau.
