We regret to inform you...

...that Prince Henri d'Olréans, Count of Paris, has died.

Prince Henri was the head of the House of Orléans, pretender to the throne of France. He is succeeded by his son Prince Jean, Duke of Vendôme.

In 2001, Prince Henri made the surprise move of cancelling Prince Jean's wedding to Duchess Tatjana d'Oldenbourg because the Duchess is a protestant. He this fact would put the succession of their issue in question.

(Regrettable. I don't think any reasonable person could have called the succession into question.)

Just amazing that there was a time when people were rich and powerful just because of the accident of birth. Glad that's all done with.

His last words.
