Anne Marie Victoire was the eldest daughter of the Prince de Condé but was passed over for marriage to the Duc du Maine in favour of her younger sister, Anne-Louise-Benedicte, who was "two fingers" taller.  The daughters of M. le Duc (as he was known at court) were tiny and were called "poupees du sang" (dolls of the blood) rather than princesses of the blood.  Mlle de Condé was extremely upset by this, and having to continue to live with the upset and torment caused by the her father (who was considered almost insane) and to that was attributed her early death (although lung disease played its part).  Saint Simon considered that Mlle de Condé had "a beautiful countenance, and an even more beautiful soul, great wit, sense, reason, kindness, and piety which sustained her in her very sad life. So was she really regretted by all who knew her".

I should have said she was the oldest princess in line to be married - her sister Marie Therese, was married to the Prince de Conti and it should have been Anne Marie Victoire's turn.
