If Napoleon Bonaparte had originally married Desiree, would she have become Empress of the French?

I posted a couple of years ago asking about the illegitimate daughter of Jean Baptiste Bernadotte. There appears to be some new information. Cajsa, appears to have been a twin with Carl. They were born on February 25, 1813 and baptised on the 28th. Parents listed was Anders Johansson and his wife Ingeborg with the age of 38.
This would certainly complicate issues if Bernadotte had a son, even illegitimately.
If any one has further information please post to this forum.
Tak.

King Charles XIV's family name was originally Deu Pouey. This name was changed to Bernadotte in the beginning of the 17th century.
Would it have taken a while to get use to the House of Deu Pouey of Sweden?

Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte never carried the family name of Pouey. It was his great-great-grandfather Pierre deu Bernadotte whose name was changed from deu Pouey, the name of his father, to deu Bernadotte, the name of his mother.
