Interesting, but I talked sisters of the late Count of Paris, Henri born in 1908, son of Jean and Isabelle, Duke and Duchess of Guise, rather than the current one...

Francoise was very attractive and was a candidate for Boris of Bulgaria in 1928, eventually accepting the wealthy widower Pr Christopher. Isabelle made a private marriage to Ct Bruno who was descended from 8 Duc d'Harcourt. In widowhood she  refused Alfonso of The Two Sicilies in 1936, and married Pr Pierre descened from 3 Pr Murat, (Sadly her grand dughter Laure  was the lover of that cad Sir James Goldsmith and bore him two natural children). Helene was to marry the grand son of king Amadeo of Spain. She was a noted beauty and was arrested and sent to a concentration camp by the Nazi's. Her husband 3 Duke of Aosta was Viceroy of Ethiopia and Govenor General of Italian East Africa

Thank you for these valuable information.

Born in 1902, Princess Françoise de France, second daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Guise, aroused the interest of the young King Alexander Ier of Yugoslavia. He asked her hand that she refused.

Good, generous, very human, she had no other ambition than to cherish and to the happiness of his family.

No, as a matter of fact it was the future king Alexander I who is supposed to have proposed to Sophie Vendôme.
Wasn't he aware of her handicap ?

He must have been as it was clear that Princess Sophie developped convulsions during the birth, which caused retardation.
