Family connection to Dutch or Swedish royalty?
I am searching for truths to a family story about my husband's paternal 2x Great-Grandfather, Albert Alexander Camitz. He is supposedly the result of an affair between a hired music instructor, Amalia Frederika Bretzner, and the prince of either Sweden or Denmark. I know, I know. But that's the story. I have identified his mother in several Danish Census records as "single" with two young boys living with her. One being Albert, the other being his brother, Friedrich Wilhelm Foroni Camitz. I have also found evidence that she was a piano teacher. I have images of Albert's baptismal record and confirmation record but I need help deciphering the hand writing and translating to English. I am having particular trouble with the "notes" or "remarks" sections of the these records. Anyone want to try translating these?

Both of the records give the father's name as Johan Vilhelm C(amitz) and his occupation as "brugspatron/brukspatron". A Brukspatron is a business owner (proprietor of a "work"). A bruk in Swedish is "foundry, mill, iron industry" (see Swedish Genealogical Word List here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Swedish_Genealogical_Word_List).
I think it is safe to say that Johan Vilhelm Camitz was not a prince in either Sweden nor Denmark, but probably just a wealthy businessman.
At the end of the note in the birth record, it seems to be referring to a "half-brother" who may be in entry 8685bb. Can you supply a link to the birth record so we can examine that record for further clues?

Darn it! No royal blood. LOL
I do have the birth record and death record for his brother Wilhelm.
