King Henry VIII died in 1547.
Australia was claimed for Great Britain by Captain James Cook in 1770.

The Liechtenstein Ascendancy

Yes, curiously enough the "representative and heir of King Charles I of England" and Stuart successsor to the throne is currently Franz, Duke of Bavaria, Head of the Royal House of Bavaria.
Duke Franz is unmarried and will be succeeded by his younger brother, Duke Max Emanuel, who has five children, all female.
The eldest daughter, Duchess Sophie, is married to Alois, Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein, and their eldest child is Prince Josef Wenzel.
So in due course the future reigning Josef Wenzel, Prince of Liechtenstein, will be (in the eyes of the Stuart legitimists) the rightful King of Great Britain.

I've heard of those rumors too. They found among her possessions at Versailles a hidden copy of Choderlos de Laclos' scandalous Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons). The novel was had been hidden in another book cover.

MAybe she was curious to see what the scandal about this book was about...i mean if there was great hype and scandal associated with a particular book i would be most curious ^___^
hey i was just wondering...has there ever been any remours that not all of Maire-Antoinette's children died? it would be very interesting if there were! :)

Orleans
For those who can read French and are interested in the Orleans, the Count of Paris relaunches Gazette de la Maison Royale de France.

Translation of French Article about the Royal Gazette
Here is a translation of the article mentioned in the post before me:
In an unchanged format and filled with 8 pages with the help of a new team, the Gazette frees itself from all prejudice.
The Gazette addresses, in fact, the followers of the Royal House of France as an institution and possibly be available for advance subscriptions of 40 Euros. The cost would be 20 Euros for students and the young entering into the workforce.
You will discover there a princely editorial and articles such as "Politics in France", "Foreign Politics", "It is France Who Wins", and "Here in France".
We salute the young team for their work and the next issue will be set for debut during November.

I'm impress by your commend of the French language Tiaraprin! Félicitations.
I did not bother translating the article as the Gazette comes only in French. Also, prices may be different for subscriptions outside the French territory.

Thank you Idriel. I was a French and Spanish teacher here in the United States.

Wow!
I never realized just how many grandchildren Le Comte and La Comtesse de Paris had. Between them and the great-grandchildren, that is enough for a few baseball teams.
One could playfully say they could have been the "new" grandparents of Europe....had all their children and grandchildren married other royalty and nobility. :)

I believe some did marry other members of royalty....I think minor members and others married some aristocrats, but not too sure on the others.
What really fascinates me are the three claims to the French throne, the Orleans, Bourbon, and the Napoleonic claims..
believe the descendents of Napoleon should not have a claim as he essentially stole the throne after he became leader of France and crowned himself Emperor.

The Third Republic broke up the crown jewels in the auction of the (nineteenth) century to dispose of important symbols of royalty so that none of the prospective claimants would be able to reassemble the symbols of power.
Many of the jewels crossed the Atlantic to grace the dollar pprincesses of the USA.
Clotilde d'Orleans was absolutely gorgeous in her simple wedding gown and gorgeously coiffed hair. :)
