:previous: Her eldest stepson is Prince Leopold, Prince Carl Philip's godfather. We see him and his son Manuel at many of the Scandinavian weddings/events. Leopold and his brother were raised by their maternal grandparents after their parents were divorced, at Schloss Umkirch. Leopold is actually only a few months younger then his mother's youngest brother, his Uncle Ferfried.

Her second husband Eugen and Konstantine were related twice over. Konstantine is the great-great grandson of Ludwig I of Bavaria through his son Adalbert. Eugen is his great-great grandson twice over. Eugen's father is descended from Ludwig's son Lutipolt. Eugen's mother is also descended from Ludwig, but like Konstantine, she is descended from Adalbert. So through Eugen's mother, they share a common great-grandfather (generation closer).

Your in memoriam is a bit confusing.

He was born in Boulogne-sur-Seine on7 February 1961 as second of five children and first son of Henri, Count of Clermont and of Mortain; on the death of his grandfather his father assumed the title Count of Paris, and also that of "Duke of France" (b.1933) & his first wife, Marie-Therese Duchess of Württemberg (b.1934) who was created Duchess of Montpensier in 1984 after their divorce.

Because his mother suffered from toxoplasmosis during pregnancy, he was born mentally disabled, as was his younger sister, Princess Blanche (b.1962).

Apart from his parents, he left his four siblings: Marie (b.1959; now Princess Gundakar of Liechtenstein), Blanche (b.1962), Jean, Dauphin de France (b.1965) & Eudes (b.1968) as well as six nieces and five nephews.
