In 1957 Princess Helene of France, 2nd daughter of the count and countess of Paris, married count Evrard of Limburg-Stirum in Dreux, Normandy, France. The gown was designed by Dior. The princess wears the tiara that her mother received from the Action Française.

Mariage de la princesse Hélène d'Orléans et du Comte de Limbourg - Vidéo Ina.fr
Among the guests were Queen Frederica of Greece, Prince Juan Carlos of Spain and Princess Alexandra of Kent.
According the the Leeuwarder Courant there was a pre-wedding dinner the evening before the wedding at the Manoir de Coeur Volent in Louveciennes, the residence of the count of Paris. (Note that Proust used this manoir as his inspiration for the house of the indefeatable Madame Verdurin)
The dinner was attended by Q. Frederika, CP Constantine and Princess Sofia of Greece, Prince Victor-Emmanuel of Italy, Prince Juan Carlos of Spain, Pss Alexandra of Kent, Prince Jean of Luxembourg.
The wedding costed the count of Paris 50.000 euros (re-calculated and not indexed to the present day value) and it was pointed out that the count still had 10 other children that needed to get married. They also point out that the second night of the bridal weeks was supposed to be spent in Moulins. However, when the couple arrived in the village, all hotels were fully booked due to an agricultural exhibition.
