Timeline
His claim to the defunct French throne is based on his descent from Louis XIV (r. 1643–1715) through his grandson Philip V of Spain.
Philip renounced his claim to the French throne under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.
The rival Orleanist pretenders argue that this, as well as being born a Spanish citizen, makes Louis Alphonse ineligible for the throne.
They also question whether he truly is the heir-male of Louis XIV, given the rumors of illegitimacy surrounding Alfonso XII (his great-great-grandfather).
Louis Alphonse is patrilineally the senior great-grandson of Alfonso XIII, King of Spain.
However, his grandfather Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia, renounced his rights to the Spanish throne for himself and his descendants owing to his deafness.
Through his mother, he is also a great-grandson of Spain's caudillo (dictator) General Francisco Franco; and through his father, a great-great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
Louis Alphonse was born in Madrid, the second son of Alfonso de Borbón, Duke of Anjou and Cádiz, and of his wife María del Carmen Martínez-Bordiú y Franco, eldest granddaughter of Francisco Franco.
Alfonso was at that time the dauphin (using "Duke of Bourbon" as title of pretence) according to those who supported the claim of his father, Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia to the French throne.
Louis Alphonse de Bourbon (Luis Alfonso Gonzalo Víctor Manuel Marco de Borbón y Martínez-Bordiú born 25 April 1974) is the head of the House of Bourbon.
Members of the family formerly ruled France and other countries.
According to the Legitimists, Louis Alphonse is considered the pretender to the defunct throne of France.
On 20 March 1975, Jaime died, and Alfonso then asserted his claim to be Head of the House of Bourbon and Legitimist claimant to the throne of France.
As such, he took the title "Duke of Anjou".
Louis Alphonse's parents separated in 1982, and their Catholic marriage was annulled in 1986.
His mother has since remarried civilly twice; he had two stepsisters Mathilda (deceased) and Marella, and a stepbrother Frederick, all born before his mother's marriage to Jean-Marie Rossi and a half-sister, Cynthia Rossi, born afterwards.
On 7 February 1984, Louis Alphonse's older brother Francisco died as the result of a car crash in which Louis Alphonse was also injured, although less so than their father, who was driving the automobile.
From that date Louis Alphonse was recognised as the heir apparent to his father by the Legitimists.
As such, he was given the additional title Duke of Bourbon on 27 September 1984 by his father.
In 1987, the Spanish government declared that titles traditionally attached to the dynasty (such as the Dukedom of Cádiz) would henceforth be borne by its members on a lifetime only basis, forestalling Louis Alphonse from inheriting that grandeeship.
Louis Alphonse took his primary studies at College Molière, a bilingual school, where he earned his baccalaureate.
Since the death of his father in 1989, he has used the courtesy title Duke of Anjou.
Louis Alphonse considers himself the senior heir of Hugh Capet, King of the Franks (reigned 987–996).
On 30 January 1989, his father died in a skiing accident near Vail, Colorado.
In 1991, he was admitted to CUNEF University, where he earned a master's degree in international finance.
Louis is multilingual, speaking English, Spanish, and French (in addition to some Italian and German).
He attended the Lycée Français de Madrid, obtaining his COU in June 1992.
He studied economics at the IESE Business School.
He worked several years for BNP Paribas, a French bank in Madrid.
In 1994, Louis Alphonse received 150 million pesetas from a lawsuit against Vail Associated, which owned the ski resort where the accident occurred.
Louis Alphonse was recognised by some members of the Capetian dynasty as Chef de la Maison de Bourbon (Head of the House of Bourbon) and took the title Duke of Anjou, but not his father's Spanish dukedom.
He is considered the rightful pretender to the defunct French throne by adherents of the Legitimist movement.
Louis Alphonse was the heir apparent to his mother’s Spanish Dukedom of Franco and Grandeeship until the abolition of the titles by the Democratic Memory Law
Louis Alphonse was elected by the French Society of the Cincinnati as the representative of Louis XVI.
In addition to his Spanish citizenship, Louis Alphonse acquired French nationality through his paternal grandmother, Emmanuelle de Dampierre, also a French citizen.
In 2017, Louis Alphonse stated that he wishes for the remains of his ancestors, including King Charles X, to remain at the Kostanjevica Monastery, after a movement reportedly began to have the King's remains moved to be buried along with other French monarchs in Basilica of St Denis.
Louis Alphonse describes himself as a monarchist, “but not anti-republican”.
He argues for a constitutional monarchy, with a king who acts as moral authority, foreign ambassador, unifying figure, and reminder of a nation's history.
