Louis-Philippe, Comte de Paris (1838-1894): French Orleanist monarchists referred to him as "Louis-Philippe II", and then later when Henri, comte de Chambord died, he was recognized as the royalist heir by almost all French monarchists, and was occasionally known as Philippe VII.

Since 1830, there had been high controversy amongst French royalists. One group, called legitimists, recognised the older branch of the family as heirs to the monarchy, while another group, the Orleanists, recognised Louis-Philippe and his heirs. In 1883, with the death of the Comte de Chambord, the older branch of the family died out. His genealogical heir was Juan, Conde de Montizon, but most legitimists recognised Philippe, Comte de Paris as heir to the Comte de Chambord, because Felipe V of Spain, ancestor of the Conde de Montizon, renounced his rights to the French throne. A minority group of royalists refused to recognise the validity of these renunciations. Nowadays, they recognise Don Luís Alfonso Gonzalo Victor Manuel Marco de Borbón y Martínez-Bordiú, or Louis-Alphonse, Duc d'Anjou as heir to the French throne. Legitimists are those Royalists in France who believe that the King of France and Navarre must be chosen according to the simple application of the Salic Law. ...
