That would most likely have been taken when the queen was in exile in France following the September Revolution of 1868.

That was interesting. It did remind me of how everyone always just glosses over the current family being descended from only Isobel II and not her husband. ?

Francisco seemed to lead a peaceful, contented life in his last few decades. Good for him.

Post separation and exile the deposed monarch and Duke of Cádiz actually got on much better ,he also never returned to Spain and died in France on April 17th, 1902!
