Still, at least the Duke of Anjou and French royalism in general are getting some publicity in the English-language media. The French Republic has utterly failed and cannot be saved, even by Marine Le Pen, nor should it be. Vive le Roi!

Mail attempts to profile Louis XX
There are so many errors in this article I barely know where to start. Louis Alfonso's pedigree would not put the Queen to shame; while they are both descendants of Queen Victoria, his ancestry is only 1/4 royal while hers is 1/2 royal. Louis XIV (r 1643-1715) was far from France's last Bourbon king; that would be Charles X (r 1824-30), or if the Orléans are considered a branch of the Bourbons, Louis Philippe (r 1830-48). And why
is it so commonly believed that Monarchy in France ended permanently
with the French Revolution? I see this error all the time. The French
monarchy did not "come to a sticky end at the hands of Robespierre and
later Napoleon." As anyone with even a rudimentary familiarity with
French history knows, the monarchy was subsequently restored and France
was governed by monarchs of various sorts for the majority of the 19th
century.

All three names have deep historical resonance for the royal family.
