Another cat fight in the house of France, I was starting to miss them . The count of Paris, who previously seemed to get on very well with his nephew the duke of Anjou, now states the following on his website and twitter:

Paris 11 avril 2013

Communiqué de Monseigneur le Comte de Paris.

Le Prince Charles Philippe, un de mes nombreux neveux, qui vit au Portugal,
n'est nullement habilité à parler au nom de la Famille Royale de France.
Je me désolidarise totalement de ces propos outranciers et irresponsables,
qui lui ont peut-être été dictés."

Henri Comte de Paris et Duc de France

Maison Royale de France - Site officiel du Prince Henri d'Orlans, Comte de Paris

which roughly translated means:

Prince Charles Philippe, one of my many nephews, who lives in Portugal, has no authority to speak on behalf of the royal family de France. I distance myself totallly from his outrageous and irresponsible words, which may have been dictated (?).

It seems that the duke of Anjou isn't overly positive about president Hollande on his facebook page:

Anyway, another classic Orléans row... let's wait for the response of the duke .

Does someone know what his nephew said exactly ?

This Family disappoints me day after day.
The Count de Paris should never have given the tittle of Duke of Anjou to this Nephew . They are a lot of other tittles for french Princes but someone else is also Duke of Anjou and should have avoid a lot of troubles.
Prince Jean asked his cousins not to attend his father 's religious wedding and Charles Louis came in grand uniforme .
And now a cat fight between Uncle and Nephew....

Is it acceptable for Duke of Anjou to comment on the governmental officials? I thought that nobility, aristocracy and members of former reigning families give vague diplomatic opinions on political figures and topics.

The exhibition of watercolour paintings of Count of Paris was held on the 7th May 2013 at the Cercle Munster in Luxembourg. Princess Lea of Belgium also attended.
