Charles Philippe Marie Louis d'Orléans (born 3 March 1973) is a member of the

French throne. As such, Charles-Philippe takes the traditional royal rank of petit-fils de France with the style of Royal Highness.[1]

Charles-Philippe was an

independent candidate in the 2012 French legislative election, standing in the Fifth constituency for French residents overseas, which covers Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Monaco. He finished seventh, with 3.05% of the vote. (Within the constituency, he finished fourth in Portugal, his country of residence, with 7.37%, and fourth also in Monaco, with 5.33%.)[2]

Charles-Philippe served as

Duke of Anjou
".

Marriage and issue

On 21 June 2008, Charles-Philippe married Diana Álvares Pereira de Melo, 11th Duchess of Cadaval. The ceremony took place in the Cathedral of Évora. Both husband and wife are Capetians, descending in unbroken male line from King Robert II of France (972–1031), Charles-Philippe through the elder son, King Henry I of France, via the cadet branch of the House of Bourbon-Orléans, and Diana from his younger son Robert I, Duke of Burgundy through the royal (though illegitimate) Portuguese branch of the House of Braganza. The couple are also fifth cousins once-removed through shared descent from King Francis I of the Two Sicilies. [citation needed]

The couple's only child, Princess Isabelle d'Orléans, was born on 22 February 2012 in

Felipe VI of Spain (then Prince of Asturias
).

In December 2022, their divorce was announced.[4]

In March 2023, his engagement to Monegasque shooting champion and former model[5] Naomi-Valeska Kern (née Salz), widow of the German fashion designer Otto Kern,[6] was announced.[7]

On 9 September 2023, he married Naomi-Valeska in a civil ceremony.[8] The Chef of the House, the Count of Paris, made clear that he lost due to this second marriage the HRH and his wife is just Madame Charles Philippe d’Orleans. His former wife retained her French titles and dignities. According to the house rules a consent of the head of the house ( which he didn’t give) and a Catholic Church marriage is required ( which did take place as the first marriage was not annulled)[citation needed]

Politics

Charles-Philippe was an

centre-right party".[9][10] He finished seventh, with 3.05% of the vote. (Within the constituency, he finished fourth in Portugal, his country of residence, with 7.37%, and fourth also in Monaco, with 5.33%.)[11]

Order of Saint Lazarus

In 2004, Charles-Philippe was appointed as

Philippe le Bel. This affiliation had continued over the ensuing centuries but ended with the deposition of King Charles X of France, when a decree of King Louis Philippe I
revoked royal protection of the diminishing remnant of the order and made it illegal to wear the order's decorations.

Charles-Philippe's designation as "Grand Master of the Order of Saint Lazarus" was disputed by those knights who remained loyal to his distant cousins (Francisco de Borbón y Escasany, 5th Duke of Seville, and, subsequently, Carlos Gereda y de Borbón, Marquis de Almazán) and to the Melchite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III Laham as Protector of the order.

Charles-Philippe founded the

potable
water.

In March 2010, Charles-Philippe decided to step down from his position as Grand Master for personal reasons. However, he maintained his participation in the order's activities as Grand Master

chairman of the order's governing council. He was replaced by Count Jan Dobrzenský z Dobrzenicz as Grand Master of the Orléans obedience. [citation needed
]

Title controversy

On 8 December 2004, he received the title "

Legitimist pretenders
since 1883, in rivalry to the claim asserted by the House of Orléans.

In that year,

senior agnatic
descendant of Philippe d'Anjou as rightful claimant to the French crown.

In 1989,

Louis Alphonse de Bourbon
became the senior agnate of the House of Bourbon, claimed the Legitimist succession, as had his father, and was immediately accorded the title "Duke of Anjou" by Legitimists.

He does not claim that Duke of Anjou is an inherited legal title, since it was never officially conferred upon his ancestor Philippe d'Anjou; it was, in fact, subsequently given by French kings to other cadets of the dynasty domiciled in France. Rather, it is explicitly a title of pretense, associated historically, politically and symbolically with French Legitimism. [citation needed]

The House of Orléans never possessed or used the Anjou ducal title during the

restoration
of the French monarchy.
