I didn't know the Duchess was pregnant again. Looks like it will be a summer baby.

No, the fifth, after Gaston, Antoinette, Louise-Marguerite and Joseph.
 
So many children in so short a time... it must not be great for the mother"s boday !
 
her children appear to be born about 2 or 3 years apart... that's hardly a short time..
 
Just a helpful list for those interested:
1. Prince Gaston Louis Antoine Marie of Orléans (born 19 November 2009 in Paris)
2. Princess Antoinette Léopoldine Jeanne Marie of Orléans (born 28 January 2012 in Vienna)
3. Princess Louise-Marguerite Eléonore Marie of Orléans (born 30 July 2014 in Poissy)
4. Prince Joseph Gabriel David Marie of Orléans (born 2 June 2016)

The other thing that is noteworthy is that the duke was already 44 when his eldest was born and will be 53 when number 5 shows up. The duchess on the other hand was 32 when Gaston was born and turned 41 last month.
 
I presume the Duchess is the woman in the yellow dress holding who I presume is Prince Joseph. If so then it would seem that she is indeed expecting another child - congratulations to the family. There will be lots of little feet running around their home in Dreux ?
 
Yes the Duchess is with the yellow dress. Another one picture with the family celebrating the win of France on the World Cup

:previous: Thanks eya. It looks as if the family are having a lot of fun after France's victory!
A French family in my road are very excited too and have proudly displayed a large French flag in front of their home :D
 
:previous: A sweet photo. Is Prince Gaston asleep? :lol:

:previous: Thank you for sharing, eya.
I love the photo of the children drawing together. They'll have quite a big family by the time the new little one comes!

Drogo? Does such a name really exist?
I heard only "Diogo" but it's a Portuguese name, not French (the equivalent of the Spanish name Diego).
And what about the Duchess? She was due in the early October.

Congrats to the parents!
 
If I understand well it's two boys. Strange names…
 
Alfonso it's an equivalent of French Alphonse.

Her sister's due date was mid-september and she gave birth to twins late (on September 28). Philomena's due date was 15 days later (this week), so if she is late as well, they might have to wait for one more week or even more.
 
Probably the birth was induced (or Caesarian section performed).
If Duchess of Vendome's due date was exactly 15 days after Countess d'Haussonville' due date - let's suppose it was 15 September for Maria Magdalena and 30 September for Philomena - she is already overdue.
 
The name Drogo is part of the ancestry of the family de Clairon de Haussonville. I found in Google Books :

Drogo de Nancy, by an Act of Exchange whose date floats between 1153 and 1155, yielded the castle and the town of Nancy to the Duc de Lorraine. In return Drogo de Nancy received the château de Rosières and the fiefs of Lénoncourt and Houssonville.


So this Drogo de Nancy (a grandson of the premier Duc d'Alsace) became the first of the new Maisons de Lénoncourt and of De Houssonville. He is an ancestor to Jean de Clairon de Haussonville, comte de Houssonville. I like this reference to the past by the parents.

Given that according to Philomena herself she was due at the start of October, so she certainly was not due in September. Based on her wording, I am quite sure she was due this week. (September 18 and October 3 would for example fit the description - I'd say the range would be Sep 16-20 and Oct 1-5). So, she most likely is overdue by a few days which is completely normal.

What is less common is that her sister gave birth probably about 10 days late. Most twins are born (up to weeks) prior to the due date instead of more than a week late.

Wonderful news and a rather unexpected name.

I suppose Elisabeth-Charlotte may be after the Elisabeth-Charlotte of the Pfaltz?
