#House of Bourbon

[tiny-librarian]

During the alarm for the life of the Queen, regret at not possessing an heir to the throne was not even thought of. The King himself was wholly occupied with the care of preserving an adored wife.

“It was, however, the death of the eldest boy, the Duc de Bourgogne, in 1761 that left the seven-year-old Louis Auguste with a permanent inferiority complex. His parents made no secret of their lamentations at the death of the favourite (whom Maria Josepha had called that special pet name, her chou d’amour). The man in charge of Louis Auguste, the Duc de Vauguyon…also took the opportunity to lecture him on his inadequacy for the role [of future king] once played by his incomparable brother.” �� Antonia Fraser, Marie Antoinette: The Journey

“[O]n the eve of Easter 1761 Bourgogne died. For his parents and the King, who had thought very highly of him, it was a terrible blow. [Louis Auguste] was now a future King of France. But he had been brought up without the adulation usually given to future Kings. On the contrary, all through his formative years he had been put in the shade, treated as a foil for brilliant Bourgogne. As a result, he was that rare creature, a prince with a poor opinion of himself.” • Vincent Cronin, Louis and Antoinette

#louis xvi #french history #eighteenth century #house of bourbon #this just makes me so sad :( #imagine forever being held up to the standard of your 'perfect' older brother...who died when he was like 10??? #granted bourgogne's personality - as it was in childhood mind you - seems to have been a lot more suited for the role of king #but it's really hard to say how louis auguste might have been different if he had you know...been treated differently. nature vs. nurture. #he might well have still been introverted and introspective and quiet! sure! but insecure and uncomfortable with the expectations of him #perhaps not as much? we'll never know

I commend to God my wife and my children, my sister, my aunts, my brothers, and all those who are attached to me by ties of blood, or by any other manner whatsoever. I pray God especially to cast the eyes of his mercy on my wife, my children, and my sister, who have suffered so long with me; to support them by his grace if they lose me, and for as long as they remain in this perishable world.

King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofía attend the procession of El Encuentro at Las Calatravas Church in Madrid on 30 March 2024.

The image of the royal family actively participating in the religious celebration did not go unnoticed by those present or the media, highlighting the gesture of closeness and commitment of the monarchy to the traditions and culture of the country.
