There are two claimants to the throne of France. Prince Henri, Count of Paris, 67, is descended from the ancient royal line of Bourbon-Orleans; he is married to Princess Isabelle of Orleans and Braganza. A friend of Charles de Gaulle, who once described the count as "my successor," he has four living sons (one died as a soldier in Algeria) and six daughters. His rival is Prince Louis Napoleon, 62, a World War II Resistance hero who is not only a Bonaparte, but is also descended from France's royal line. A wealthy businessman, he is married to Alix de Foresta; they have two sons and two daughters. Both French royals live in France. Louis says that he is "available" if his country calls. As indeed would be the eleven other royal claimants or their heirs.
