An article about the event, from Luxarazzi:

Seems Jean-Christophe and Olympia are still an item, then.

Many other royals were also in attendance.

Prince Napoleon is quite dashing. Granting an honourary citizen of London to a person from the Napoleons is amusing.

Prince Jean-Christophe Napoléon attended the wedding of Princess Alix de Ligne and Count Guillaume de Dampierre:

As far as I know, no one of Arco-Zinneberg sisters is married?

Hello everyone..


I was looking through Instagram and came cross an account under the name "Jean-Christophe Napoleon" I was wondering if it's official one or not, but I guess since it's private it's belongs to him! (hint the pic)

I think it's him. He's followed by a few aristocrats & Royal houses that I follow.

What's his opinion about the problem of a larger autonomy for Corsica, the island of his forefathers?

According to some Brazilian monarchist circles, Princess Alix was also rumored to have dated Prince François of Orleans (the now Count of Dreux) and even Prince Amedeo of Belgium. Both are now married.

The Princess will be 31 in two weeks. I expect she'll soon marry (and marry well, I hope).

Interesting indeed if they end up marrying.

What would be considered as "marrying well" for him? Are there any restrictions in the family?

Has anyone here met him? Wonder to know what sort of person he is.

Given that his grandmother was born a "mere" Countess and his father (in his second marriage) and uncle both married commoners without dynastic repercussions I'd say he's free to marry anyone he wants. Besides as Head of the House it's up to him to set down the rules.

The second marriage had repercussions for Prince Charles, the father of Jean-Chistophe. By testament Prince Charles became disinherited and in one go his son Jean-Christophe was named head of the dynasty.

The head of the Bonapartist House is a convinced and openly republican, as well a fierce defender of the Republic. It is unlikely he would support any desintegration of France, let alone monarchist tendences.

His son Jean-Christophe has no profile on this but it is unlikely a figure like him would support sedistic movements. It would only provoke seditism in Bretagne, Pays Basque, Navarre, the Alsace, etc. Very much against the ideas of his most famous historical relative for whom a strong and unitary France was the raison d'être.

Weren't the main reasons for disinheritance the differences in political views and the divorce of Prince Charles and Princess Beatrice as divorce is forbidden?

Most likely the openly republicanism of Prince Charles was a thorn in the flesh for the bonapartists but the three formal reasons for the drastic testamentary actions were: marrying without permission of the head of the House, adopting without permission of the Head of the House and marrying against the dynastic interests and tradition of the House. Prince Charles' republicanism formally is no factor in the juridical battle to fight his father's testament.

Needless to say that the bonapartist infighting and the openly republicanism by Prince Charles is not very much advancing the Bonapartist cause. The same can be said about the chronic infighting amongst the Orléanists. The République has zero comma zero to fear from both pretending Houses.

My mistake then. I was sure it was the divorce and then that mess about changing the family name that got between father and son.

If there is strife in The House of Bonaparte because of a divorce I'm sure old Josephine is laughing on a cloud in heaven.

She absolutely is. So much hypocrisy.

Thank you for the explanation. So is being a commoner not advancing the cause? Does it mean that Charles and Beatrice's marriage was arranged to keep the tradition of the dynasty as in bringing more aristo/royal blood and connections into the mix?
