Count of Paris:

"On this February 6, we wish a happy birthday to Prince Gaston.

The first name of the Prince refers to Saint Gaston, Saint Vaast in Norman, who was the first bishop of Arras and catechist of Clovis. Particularly attached to the figure of the first Frankish Christian king, Saint Gaston had a leading role during his baptism in Reims since he held the crown during the ceremony."

Skiing and first snowboarding lesson for all the siblings at Mont D'Olmes in the Pyrenees.

? The champion in snowboarding is unsurprisingly Prince Joseph, and the best medal in skiing was won by the very careful and very technical Princess Louise-Marguerite.

? Thanks to the excellent team of instructors for their patience and enthusiasm.

A wonderful surprise: the Count and Countess of Paris are expecting their sixth child. They've given an interview to this week's issue of French Point de Vue announcing the baby news. The baby is expected for the end of December or the beginning of January 2024.

The interview can only be seen by subscribed readers, but the new family photo is visible and was taken on July 3:

This came as a surprise when I read it in Point de Vue online this morning.

Congratulations to TRH!?

I thought they are done. But then they can try as much as they wan't they will not reach the same number as the Count's grandparents.

Definitely not, given that the Countess has just turned 46.

It might have en a surprise for them too.

I hope evething will be OK.

Congratulations!

Their kids are beautiful. That oldest boy is going to be a heartbreaker soon!

 

[Moonmaiden23]

The Comtesse's figure after five closely spaced pregnancies is simply amazing!

Welcome to little Prince Alphonse! 3 boys and 3 girls!

 

[rominet09]

Congratulations to the parents.

 

[Biri]

I feared the baby may be pre-term (due to Philomena's age) and it came two days overdue.

Congratulations to the parents, grandparents and siblings!

Welcome to the world, Prince Alphonse!

P.S. for 99.99% he will be their LAST CHILD.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Prince Jean and Princess Philomena!
I like the fact that Prince Alphonse has Francois as one of his middle names.

Congratulations to the whole family on the birth of prince Alphonse Charles François Marie. Indeed lovely that the name of his uncle Francois is included.

I mainly associate the name Alphonse with the Spanish Bourbons. Is there a link to the Orleans family as well?
Edit: Philomena's father's name is Alfonso. So, he is named after his (indeed Spanish) grandfather.

I expect prince Gabriel vuz Liechtenstein to be one of the godparents. All his siblings are godparents to the newborn's siblings. I guess, his name is not included as Alphonse's brother Joseph already has 'Gabriel' as one of his middle names. I wonder which Charles might be a godfather to little Alphonse; Charles-Philippe seems unlike given the recent feud. Maybe hereditary grand duke Guillaume somewhat representing his son?

Indeed nice to include the Name François as he was Born on the Day his uncle died. I guess Alphonse is after Philomenas father who was named Alfonso
