As the son of King Miguel, the duke was forbidden to enter Portuguese territory. Therefore, he was educated in Germany and Austria. He was a member of the staff of Franz Josef, emperor of Austria and took part in the occupation of Bosnia. It is said that the emperor liked the duke immensely and granted him the privilege of extra-territoriality that allowed him to remain Portuguese, despite the rejection of Portugal. During World War I, Miguel was one of the field marshals of the Austrian army until, in 1917, Portugal entered the conflict on the opposite side. Immediately he asked for exoneration and served the rest of the war as a civilian, in the Order of Malta. After the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Miguel and his family were thrown into relative poverty.

In 1920, after some family quarrels with his older son, Miguel II abdicated (his claims, such as the pretension of kingdom) for Duarte, only 13 years old. It has been reported that in 1926, just before Miguel's death, the representative of deposed king Manuel II of Portugal concluded a pact with the Migueline line of the royal dynasty, and that the Duchy of Braganza was granted to the Migueline branch - whereby Miguel II is held to have become the uncontested 22nd Duke of Bragança. If ever so granted, the duchy then was inherited at latest at the death of Miguel by his second son dom Duarte Nuno - his elder son having died meanwhile. Many monarchists argue against this pact constitutional validity because the abdication in favour of the miguelist line should have been made after the abrogation, by a King's sovereign act, of article 98 of the Monarchic Constitution, which has never happened, and with the personally sign of the last king Manuel. This opposition branch was led by the last daughter of the king Charles of Portugal, Maria Pia Saxe Coburg of Braganza.
