More information
On 25 August 1940, Henri's grandfather, Jean d'Orléans, Duke of Guise, died. His father became pretender, and Henri was recognised as dauphin in pretence by Orléanists. In 1957 his father conferred upon him, as heir apparent, the title Count of Clermont.[2]
... He was the first son of Henri, Count of Paris (1908–1999), and his wife Princess Isabelle of Orléans-Braganza, and was born in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre,[2] Belgium because an 1886 law had exiled the heirs of France's formerly reigning dynasties. This law was abrogated in 1950, when Henri was able to repatriate with his parents, but he had already been allowed to visit France by special favour of President Vincent Auriol in 1948.
