Jean, Comte de Paris, Head of the Royal House of France, Wife & Family, Feb 2019 -

[HereditaryPrincess]

This time the mass the Count and Countess of Paris attended was in commemoration of the late Count:

Requiem pour le comte de Paris (1933-2019) – Noblesse & Royautés

[HereditaryPrincess]

There was another mass for Louis XVI which was also attended by two of the Count and Countess's children:

Messe pour le repos de l’âme du roi Louis XVI – Noblesse & Royautés

The Count of Paris with family posed for some photos during their skiing holidays in Lech on February 22:

Interesting. I am curious to learn if the Orléans mingle with the Orange-Nassaus... Also in Lech now.

I am not aware of much contact between the two families. Princess Beatrix went to the wedding of the Comte de Chambord to Dss Marie Therese of Württemberg. One of the Orleans princesses (Helene IIRC) attended the silver wedding festivities of Bernhard and Juliana but after that I don't think they appeared on each others events. A few children of Karl and Diane of Württemberg (IIRC Michael and Eleonore) did attend the 60th birthday of Queen Beatrix.

Yes, that is why maybe the new Comte, who seems more accessible, less rigid and not so eccentric as his father and grandfather, will develop contacts with the Orange-Nassaus. Seems impossible to me not to miss, with all press, security and the top suites of Gasthof Post rented out, that the Dutch are in town.

A few weeks ago I saw a picture of the Dutch royals privately mingling with the Sultan of Yogjakarta. Who would ever have guessed the three princesses mingling with the Sultan's family?

Máxima seems a person to me to make new alliances and maintaining these. Princess Beatrix and King Willem-Alexander maybe are not so interested in having the Orléans in Lech. I can see Máxima reaching out to Jean and Philomena (whom is a native Spanish speaker, like herself).

MT of Wurtenberg married the Comte de Clermont.
There was more of 30 years ago a Club of Ex Kings or Pretenders with Sashes, Décorations and tiaras...
They were King Umberto of Italy , King Michel of Roumania, GD Vladimir of Russia , the Comte de Paris, King Simeon of Bulgaria and their wifes all blue blood except one!. They were at all the Royal Private Events !
An anecdote : the Comte de Paris was not that happy with the honors for the Prince and Princess de Monaco and Princess Marie Bonaparte/ Greece said to him : "Henri , eux ils règnent"

That is true. I was thinking about exactly that club a few weeks ago when some pictures from the wedding of Maria Vladimirovna Romanova to Franz Wilhelm of Preussen was released. The wedding guests featured many of the ex-monarchs and pretenders alive at the time and even the new King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia who less than a year earlier had been members of that very club.

What was that club? Was the Duke of Bragança also a part?

And all three of Beatrix sons attended the marriage of Duchess Mathilde of Württemberg in 1988. But none of the other Württemberg marriages some years later.

Lovely family photos. Love some of the royal families are giving us a peek of their kids and Easter to share with them. Not just random flower photos.

[Alexey 1904]

Beautiful pictures of a happy family on a most holy day.

[Duc_et_Pair]

Lovely family, lovely domain also.

I have to laugh about le petit Dauphin. I see he wears a red bermuda and a white polo, but I think he and his little brother Prince Joseph, the two sneaky boys, have taken ties out of his father's garderobe. And one with golden fleurs-de-lys!
