Catalogue Note
Le prince Ferdinand d’Orléans était l’aîné des fils de Louis-Philippe et de son épouse Marie-Amélie. Né en exil dans le pays natal de sa mère, la Sicile, il découvrit la France pour la première fois en 1814. Suivant logiquement la succession de son père, couronné en 1830, il devint prince royal et parallèlement duc d’Orléans. En 1837, il épousa à Fontainebleau, la duchesse Hélène de Mecklenbourg-Schwerin (1814-1858) avec qui il eut deux enfants. En 1842, le prince fut subitement tué dans un accident de calèche, ce qui l’empêcha ainsi, de voir la chute de la Monarchie de Juillet et l’exil de sa famille en Angleterre, conséquence directe du changement de régime.
Prince Ferdinand d'Orléans was the eldest son of King Louis Philippe, King of the French and his wife Maria Amalia of the Two Sicilies. Born in exile in his mother's native Sicily, he first visited France in 1814. Following his father's succession as King of the French in 1830, he became the Prince Royal and subsequently Dud d'Orléans. In 1837 he married, at Fontainebleau, Duchess Helene of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1814-1858) and the couple had two children. In 1842, the Prince died, suddenly, in a horse-drawn carriage accident, he therefore never saw the collapse of the July Monarchy or subsequent exile of his family to England.
