Prince François Henri Louis Marie d'Orléans, Count of Clermont (born 7 February 1961), is dauphin, the eldest son of the Orleanist pretender to the French throne, Prince Henri, Count of Paris, Duke of France and his former wife Duchess Marie Therese of Württemberg. François carries the name of his paternal uncle who died in battle in Algeria the previous year.
Both he and his younger sister, Blanche, are mentally disabled from congenital toxoplasmosis.
In accordance with his handicap, in 1962, his grandfather decided to remove François from the order of succession in favor of his younger brother, Jean, duke of Vendôme. On 6 March 2003, François' father, Henri, reversed that decision if not the outcome, by leaving François as titular head but having Jean assume duties as heir apparent.
In 2006, the website of that Royal Family announced François was passed over in favour of his younger brother and Regent, Prince Jean, Duke of Vendôme.
