Princess Anne of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Dowager Duchess of Calabria[1] (née Princess Anne d'Orléans; born 4 December 1938) is the widow of Infante Carlos, Duke of Calabria.[1] She is the third daughter and fifth child[1] of Prince Henri, Count of Paris (1908–1999), Orléanist claimant to the defunct French throne,[2] and his wife Princess Isabelle of Orléans-Braganza (1911–2003).[1]
Life
Marriage
On 12 May 1965, at Dreux, France, Princess Anne married Carlos of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Calabria (1938–2015), one of the two claimants to be Head of the Royal House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies.[1][3] The bride wore a Balmain silk gown of Lyonnaise lace, embroidered with fleurs de lys.[4]
Infante Carlos was the son of Infante Alfonso of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Calabria (1901–1964) and Princess Alice of Bourbon-Parma (1917–2017). Though they had known each other since childhood, their romantic relationship began in Athens, in 1962, at the wedding of the future King Juan Carlos of Spain to Princess Sophia of Greece, at which Princess Anne was a bridesmaid.[3] The Duke and Duchess of Calabria lived in Spain.[3]
