Read on Twitter
Just learned the rabble-rousing Duc d’Anjou on here is a pretender claimant to the defunct French throne under the name Louis XX and is also literally the great-grandson of Francisco Franco. Twitter is incredible.
Just a staggering new character blazing onto the field. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Alphonse,_Duke_of_Anjou">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loui...
Lots of you already knew this I guess but I was not up on my pretenders to the French throne
Where does Countess Luann’s ex-husband factor into all this
He is actually the hereditary Duke of Anjou — maybe? Someone else also claims to be, it seems — but that title hasn’t been extant since the 18th century. https://twitter.com/kyle_deleted/status/1266771881534853123?s=21">https://twitter.com/kyle_dele... https://twitter.com/kyle_deleted/status/1266771881534853123">https://twitter.com/kyle_dele...

Okay I guess I should have been more specific
I was looking for more info on this. Drama!!!
His mom (Franco’s granddaughter) has a wild ride Wikipedia page of her own. “In 2006, she was a contestant on "Mira quién baila!" ("Look Who& #39;s Dancing!"), the Spanish version of "Strictly Come Dancing".” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Mart%C3%ADnez-Bordi%C3%BA">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carm...

Oh my god, the rival Orléanist claimant pretender has ALSO weighed in on Twitter. (h/t @Kaiten1978)
Imagine a life where in 2020 your whole deal is trying to convince people you are the rightful King of France
Sadly it appears Jean-Christophe, Prince Napoléon, does not have a Twitter account, so we won’t get a claimants to the defunct French throne triple crown.
