That's also the only picture I've seen on him in a magazine. I also saw him in a picture during his maternal grandmother's funeral. Are the Napoleon-Bourbon-Two Sicilies kids low key? We don't seem to get too many updates on them.

Princess Beatrice of Bourbon-Two Sicilies and her daughter Princess Caroline Napoléon are pictured in this (last?) week's Point de Vue (the Savoy Jewels issue) as VIP guests at a Louis Vuitton function. Prince Jean-Christophe is pictured at events occasionally, but not often.

Is Prince Charles Napoleon's wife HIH Princess Napoleon, or is that his mother? It seems to me that his mother would be HIH The Dowager Princess Napoleon. Or does his wife not claim the title?

Charles's mother is still referred to as S.A.I. la Princesse Napoléon. His wife doesn't claim the title. In fact, professionally she still uses her maiden name.

Toledo, just a historical precision, about something you wrote in 2005...
The Valois were never "kicked-off" by the Bourbons. They didn't have male heirs, so the nex capetian branch, the Bourbons, were called to the throne, it is the French succession system. Now, by disappearing of all male lines but them, all capetians are Bourbons.

Napoleon's sword sold for $6.4 million - Yahoo! News
The article says the sword was sold by a family member to another family member. Does the Bonaparte family still have that kind of wealth?

Charles Napoleon didn't qualify in his area for the second round of general elections who took place yesterday. He was candidate and got ten per cent of the ballots.

Well, at least one of the Napoleons is well off, depending on who inherited the bulk of the late Prince Napoleon's fortune.
It could be one of the de Witts that purchased the sword. One of them owns a chateau.

The Princess Napoléon attended the 25th Anniversary of the French Heritage Society. The event was held at the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, owned by Comte Patrice de Vogüé.

Sorry, I posted a photo from a Danish agency, I thought that by telling their name it would be OK.
As no direct link is avalable, you may go, to see the photo, on their homepage : http://www.polfoto.dk then write "Anjou" in the white place, then push the "sog" button.
