María Margarita de Vargas y Santaella, Duchess of Anjou (b. 21 October 1983 at Candelaria, Caracas) is a Venezuelan heiress and wife of Prince Louis of Bourbon, Duke of Anjou, who is considered to be the head of the French Royal House by royalists who consider the renunciation of Philip V of Spain as invalid.
