Catalogue Note
Le duc de Montpensier (1824-1890), le plus jeune des enfants de Louis-Philippe, est le moins connu. Il n'eut guère le loisir de donner sa mesure, la monarchie de Juillet ayant cessé d'exister alors qu'il n'avait que 24 ans. Perspicace, il vit venir les événements de 1848 et prit ensuite en Espagne ses quartiers d'exil. Il épousa l'infante d'Espagne Louise-Fernande de Bourbon (1832-1897). Une de ses filles épousa son cousin le Comte de Paris, fils aîné du duc d'Orléans.
The duc de Montpensier, youngest of Louis-Philippe's children, is also the least known. Aged 24 when the Monarchy of July ceased to exist, he headed towards Spain. He married Louise-Fernande de Bourbon of Spain (1832-1897). One of their daughters married the Comte de Paris, her cousin, eldest of the duc d'Orléans' sons.
