Prince Pierre of Orléans

Prince Pierre Jean Marie d'Orléans (born 6 August 2003) is the only male-line grandson of Henri, comte de Paris, duc de France, Orleanist claimant to the throne of France.

Biography

Pierre was born at Grasse (Alpes-Maritimes), the second child and only son of Eudes, duc d'Angoulême and his wife, Marie-Liesse de Rohan-Chabot. ["Pierre, nouveau prince de France", "Point de Vue" (no. 2875, 27 aout au 2 septembre 2003): 30.]

On 17 October 2003 Pierre was baptised in the church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Esperance in Cannes. ["Le bapteme de Pierre d'Orleans", "Point de Vue" (no. 2884, 29 octobre au 4 novembre 2003): 30-33.] He received the name "Pierre" in honour of his great-grandfather Prince Pedro de Alcantara of Orléans-Braganza. The names "Jean" and "Marie" are in honour of his godparents, his uncle Jean, duc de Vendôme and his father's cousin Archduchess Simeon of Austria (daughter of Infante Carlos, Duke of Calabria).

Pierre is fourth in line in the Orleanist succession to the French throne after his two uncles, François, comte de Clermont and Jean, duc de Vendôme, and his father. He has one older sister, Thérèse.
