Great find ally_cooper!!

Guy Stair Saintly from the Franco-Iberian RMB (http://members3.boardhost.com/Franco...msg/38349.html) also said that LA was admitted to the Order of Malta as "HRH .... Duke of Anjou", being invested in the Royal Chapel in Versailles".

I also read somewhere that LA&M are donating the proceeds of the sale of the wedding pics to charities, which I think is soo cool and sweet of them!

Would love to see more pre-wedding pics of Margarita and LA!!

LA as a child...

Thanks, I didn't look in the spanish section, because I've only had a year of it. I suspect that the only reason he was admmited is becuse of his claim to the french throne and not as a young polo-playing banker. If LAB has been an active member for 4 years he should have a record of his "good deeds" otherwise it's look like you join a club to gain acess to publicity not for helping people I know people who joined charity & volunteer groups but HATE to get involved with hands on work just something easy and more importantly get their picture in the local paper its simple and not a real genuine intrest in helping the less fortune. The money is being put up by magazines and not a personal expense coming out of LAb's own pocket or even a tax write off
he's just "forward man in the middle "I think that it's only to generate publicity "oh look I'm such a nice guy I could have kept the money but I'm going to give it way"
If here not admiited as a member of KOM would he have bothered ?
If he married a girl who did not come from a wealthy family there would be no need to do photo shoots and interviews even his mother went to Jaime Penafiel and he is
a columnist/ gossip monger.

Maria Margarita's sister got married with LA's friend. I think they met in the wedding party.

His older brother Francois was such a cute fellow. How did he die? His death must have been a hard blow for the whole family.

Vicky · #**109** 11-18-2004, 07:14 PM

Does anyone know what happened to his father's title, Duque de Cadiz? Are titles passed on to the heir?

ally_cooper · #**113** 11-20-2004, 05:31 AM

No, this title return to the Crown. Was not an hereditary title. Here, in Spain, Louis has not titles and rights to sucection.

François died in february 1984, and he born in november 1972. He only have 11 years old when the family (The Duke Alphonse, François, Louis and the babysitter) return of a weekend in the Pyrinees for Pamplone, and they have an accident. François died two days before, Louis was ... I think was a week in coma, the babysitter also was hurt and the Duke was in coma a very long time and people don't tell him that François died until he was recovered by Louis order.

Thanks for the pictures Lyonnaise. That was a long honeymoon!

queenanne · #**118** 01-26-2005, 03:55 AM

Thanks so much for the pics. Am I the only one who thinks he kind of has the upper body of a middle aged man instead of a 30 something year old? Especially if he's sporty?

I have to agree with you. Maybe he's been just sitting around for the last few enjoying the honeymoon.

queenanne · #**120** 01-26-2005, 01:39 PM

Yes, maybe that's it. We'll give him the benefit of a doubt.

They've probably been eating all kinds of rich, fatty foods during the recent holidays, too.:)
