I think he should be given chance to rule france...he can do no worse and if he is a Hindu, he can do to the Muslims in France what hindus want to do to muslims....

[Shimmer128]

That's all it takes? A name??? wow, those French, they're a hoot.

[mainepatsfan]

He'll have to fight it out with Napoléon VII Charles.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Hmmmmm.....

Was he there when Louis XVI's heart was given over to the remnants of the French royal family? And what about the Spanish royal line. They are Bourbons, too. (After the Spanish Habsburgs inbred themselves out of existence).

[mainepatsfan]

A distant cousin of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette...

Just as an aside I was forced to watch that Marie Antoinette movie last weekend. God awful.

[N. Theknow]

Oh, that kind of Indian.

Balthazar Napolean de Bourbon, a jovial Indian lawyer and part-time farmer settled in Bhopal, has been told that he is the first in line to the lost French throne.

...with that and a Franc you can get yourself a cup of expresso...

I downloaded a TV program a while back from a UK torrent website titled: Britain's Real Monarch. Here's a link to the page regarding the program and the findings of an historian:

Real Monarch

According to the program, a Michael Hastings, living in Australia is the "real" King of England.

[U S Army EOD]

He would be better of if he claimed he knocked up Anna Nicole Smith.

[Billthedrill]

Man, they're outsourcing everything these days.

[Cavalcabo]

Now we are even outsourcing pretenders to the throne to India.

Utter and complete Hogwash. The Legitimist heir to the French throne is Prince Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou (Luis Alfonso Gonzalo Víctor Manuel Marco de Borbón y Martínez-Bordiú; born in 1974 in Madrid). He is head of the French Royal House, according to legitimists, who quite reasonably consider the renunciation of Philip V of Spain as invalid, as well as a direct descendant of Alfonso XIII of Spain. He is a first cousin once removed of King Don Juan Carlos. As king, he would be named Louis XX of France.

He is handsome, well educated, accomplished, works for a living and apparently a very decent guy. And has about as much chance at the "French throne" as I do.
