Yes, she wrote a bio on princess Clementine.
As far as I know her books were not translated into English but Charlotte Zeepvat quoted one of her books for Charlotte´s article on prince Baudouin of Belgium (brother of king Albert I).
By coincidence I talked to Dominique on the telephone yesterday and she is preparing now a book divided in many parts about the royals during the second war. Princess Mafalda, the Wittelsbachs and the Hohenbergs.
She´s trying to find a copy of the memoirs by the prince Enrico d´Assia (Heinrich von Hesse Kassel) "Lampadario di Cristallo".
She was at the wedding of the duke of Vendome and she parked her car very far from the Cathedral and she got a carriage to go to the Cathedral and the crowd assumed she was a royal and applauded her...it was great FUN!!!!
She said the mayor of Senlis is a fervent royalist and pronnounced an emotional monarchist speech after the religious ceremony. Interesting.
