The entire imperial family before the coronation

The order was given at the Tuileries Palace: the whole family was to gather for the coronation festivities of H.I.M Emperor Napoléon V. This rare gathering in the heart of Paris gave rise to a colorful family photo. Some journalists are also linking the photo to Louis Simparte's recent articles against the imperial family. Is Emperor Napoléon V preparing a media counter-attack?

From left to right: Princess Amélie, Princess Marianne, Prince Philippe (2nd in order of succession), Madame Hortense, Empress Charlotte of the French, Emperor Napoléon V of the French, Madame Mère Marie-Joséphine, Princess Armance, Imperial Prince Henri of the French (1st in order of succession), Princess-Napoléon Olympia and Princess Sophie.

Imperial Prince Henri of the French has unexpectedly become heir to the crown once again. Less popular and well-known than Emperor Napoléon V and Madame Hortense, the imperial family is certainly preparing its return to the media and political scene. Prince Henri may seem like a man of many secrets, but he's actually more accessible than his late brother, Emperor Napoléon IV.

Few details are known about the preparations for the festivities, but many Parisians have noticed the extensive work being carried out on Notre-Dame Cathedral.

⚜ Traduction française

La famille impériale au complet avant le sacre

L'ordre a été lancé au palais des Tuileries : toute la famille doit se réunir à l'occasion des festivités du couronnement de l'Empereur Napoléon V. Ce rassemblement rare au cœur de Paris a donné lieu a une photo familiale colorée. Certains journalistes font également le lien entre cette photo et les récents articles de Louis Simparte à l'encontre de la famille impériale. L'Empereur Napoléon V prépare-t-il une contre-attaque médiatique ?

De gauche à droite : la princesse Amélie, la princesse Marianne, le prince Philippe (2e dans l'ordre de succession), Madame Hortense, l'Impératrice Charlotte des Français, l'Empereur Napoléon V des Français, Madame Mère Marie-Joséphine, la princesse Armance, le prince impérial Henri des Français (1er dans l'ordre de succession), la princesse-Napoléon Olympia et enfin la princesse Sophie.

De manière inattendue, le prince impérial Henri des Français est redevenu l'héritier de la Couronne. Moins populaire et connu que l'Empereur Napoléon V et Madame Hortense, la famille impériale prépare certainement son retour sur la scène médiatique et politique. Le prince Henri a beaucoup de secrets en apparence, mais il est en réalité plus accessible que feu son frère, l'Empereur Napoléon IV.

Peu de détails sont connus concernant la préparation des festivités, mais beaucoup de parisiens ont remarqué les travaux conséquents réalisés à la cathédrale Notre-Dame.

Albert II of Belgium

Physique: Average Build Height: 6'1"

Albert II (born 6 June 1934 -) is a member of the Belgian royal family who reigned as King of the Belgians from 1993 until his abdication in 2013. He is the son of King Leopold III and Queen Astrid, born princess of Sweden. He is the younger brother of Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte of Luxembourg and King Baudouin, whom he succeeded upon Baudouin’s death in 1993. Albert II abdicate the throne for health reasons in 1993 and was succeeded by his son Philippe on 21 July 2013.

The former King is adorable. He definitely falls into the 'cute grandpa' category. Sure he’s getting on in years and a little past his best but I'd still do him in a heartbeat. And even if you think he is too old, he was a fucking king. You would fuck him and you know it.

He married Donna Paola Ruffo di Calabria (now Queen Paola), with whom he had three children; King Philippe, Princess Astrid and Prince Laurent with twelve grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. During the 60s, King Albert had an 18-year-affair with Belgian aristocrat that produced a second daughter, Princess Delphine. If I were alive in the 60s, Albert could have slept with me and not have to worry about admitting he fathered a child out of wedlock. What? He isn’t getting me pregnant.

The napoleonic marshal‘s children

After seeing @josefavomjaaga’s and @northernmariette’s marshal calendar, I wanted to do a similar thing for all the marshal’s children! So I did! I hope you like it. c: I listed them in more or less chronological order but categorised them in years (especially because we don‘t know all their birthdays). At the end of this post you are going to find remarks about some of the marshals because not every child is listed! ^^“ To the question about the sources: I mostly googled it and searched their dates in Wikipedia, ahaha. Nevertheless, I also found this website. However, I would be careful with it. We are talking about history and different sources can have different dates. I am always open for corrections. Just correct me in the comments if you find or know a trustful source which would show that one or some of the dates are incorrect. At the end of the day it is harmless fun and research. :) Pre 1790

Additional remarks: - Marshal Berthier died 8.5 months before his last daughter‘s birth. - Marshal Oudinot had 11 children and the age difference between his first and last child is around 32 years. - The age difference between marshal Grouchy‘s first and last child is around 43 years. - Marshal Lefebvre had fourteen children (12 sons, 2 daughters) but I couldn‘t find anything kind of reliable about them so they are not listed above. I am aware that two sons of him were listed in the link above. Nevertheless, I was uncertain to name them in my list because I thought that his last living son died in the Russian campaign while the website writes about the possibility of another son dying in 1817. - Marshal Augerau had no children. - Marshal Brune had apparently adopted two daughters whose names are unknown. - Marshal Pérignon: I couldn‘t find anything about his daughters, Justine, Elisabeth and Adèle, except that they died in infancy. - Marshal Sérurier had no biological children but adopted Marguerite-Félécité Desprez in 1814. - Marshal Marmont had no children. - I found out that marshal Saint-Cyr married his first cousin, lol. - I didn‘t find anything about marshal Poniatowski having children. Apparently, he wasn‘t married either (thank you, @northernmariette for the correction of this fact! c:)

Royal Tiara Challenge 2024: Favourite Aquamarine Tiara

Luxembourg Aquamarine Bandeau

Excluding the Swedish Aquamarine Kokoshnik, this bandeau from Luxembourg is my favourite aquamarine tiara, even if it does look similar to 3 or 4 others in the Luxembourg collection. First owned by Grand Duchess Joséphine Charlotte, this tiara is frequently seen adorning the heads of members of the Grand Ducal family. It was last worn by Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie for the 2023 New Years Reception.

Female French Painters during the Napoleonic Era:

This is a short compilation to highlight some of the work of really awesome and overlooked female artists in France during the early 19th century and the late 18th century. There honestly were a lot of professional female painters during this time period due to more freedom of expression, and female artists were being celebrated and encouraged from the very top of French society.

Tumblr only allows a limited number of pictures in one post, so I shall be posting a lot more to continue sharing the beautiful artwork from women during this time.

👑 Day Eight: Favorite Luxembourgish Tiara

The Aquamarine Bandeau

Details from The Court Jeweler:

The piece is made of large aquamarines interspersed with crisscrossed rows of diamonds. It was made as a part of a demi-parure of aquamarine jewels for the late Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte; the set also includes earrings and a necklace. Joséphine-Charlotte was photographed wearing the bandeau low across her forehead, just as her mother, Queen Astrid of the Belgians, once wore her bandeaux. Marie-Astrid, Joséphine-Charlotte’s daughter, was also pictured wearing the aquamarine bandeau in this manner.
