Prince Eudes Thibaut Joseph Marie of Orléans, Duke of Angoulême (born 18 March 1968) is the youngest son of Henri, Count of Paris, Duke of France, Orleanist claimant to the throne of France, and of Duchess Marie Therese of Württemberg.

Biography

Eudes was born in Paris. After his parents separated, he was raised by his mother.

On 27 September 1987, Eudes was given the title duc d'Angoulême by his grandfather, Henri, Count of Paris.

On 19 June 1999, Eudes was married in a civil ceremony at Dreux to Marie-Liesse Claude Anne Rolande de Rohan-Chabot, elder daughter of Count Louis Mériadek de Rohan-Chabot and of his wife, Princess Isabelle de Bauffremont-Courtenay.[1][2][3] That same evening Eudes' grandfather, the Count of Paris, died.

Eudes and Marie-Liesse's religious wedding took place on 10 July 1999 at Antrain. The ceremonies were muted and there was no ball or public reception on account of the state of mourning for the comte de Paris.[4] Eudes' witnesses were his brother Jean, Duke of Vendôme, Prince Gennaro of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, and Henry Lecharny. Marie-Liesse's witnesses were her mother, her sister Eléonore, and Florence Bouteiller. Eudes and Marie-Liesse have two children:

  • Prince Pierre Jean Francois d'Orléans (born Cannes 23 April 2001).
  • Princess Therese Marie Eleonor d'Orléans (born 6 August 2003).

Pierre was baptised on 17 October 2001 in the church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Esperance in Cannes.[5] 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 Marie of Austria (daughter of Infante Carlos, Duke of Calabria).

Eudes is third in line to the Orleanist succession to the French throne after his brother Prince Jean, duc de Vendôme, and his nephew, Prince Gaston.
