He was the son of Charles Louis d'Albert, 5th Duke of Luynes (1717–1771) and Henriette Nicole d'Egmont-Pignatelli (1719–1782).

After his grandmother's death in 1721, his grandfather married Marie Brûlart (the widow of the Marquis de Charost, who became a lady-in-waiting to the Queen Maria, consort of King Louis XV of France).
