She is the third daughter and fifth child of Henri, Count of Paris, Orléanist claimant to the defunct French throne,[1] and his wife Princess Isabelle of Orléans-Braganza.

[2] In 1950, the law banning claimants to the French throne from residing in the country was rescinded and the family moved back to France.

Since her marriage, Princess Anne has accompanied her husband, and now son, on official engagements on behalf of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George.

[7] The Count of Paris initially withheld his consent to the match as he supported the claim of Prince Ranieri, Duke of Castro to the defunct throne of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

"[10][11] The bride wore a Balmain silk gown of Lyonnaise lace, embroidered with fleur-de-lis, a symbol of the Capetian dynasty.
