You may be surprised, but France has a king even today

You may be surprised, but France has a king even today. Although the title is disputed, most legitimists and monarchists regard the titular Duke of Anjou, a direct heir of Louis XIV and a member of the Spanish royal family, Luis Alfonso de Borbón, as the titular King of France. The king de jure, also known as Louis XX, was born in 1974 in Madrid and became heir to such titles as King of France and Navarre, Duke of Anjou, Duke of Touraine and Duke of Bourbon after the death of his elder brother in 1985. He is married to a wealthy and high-born Venezuelan beauty, lives with their four children in his wife's homeland, and works in the banking sector. The other claimants to the French crown are representatives of the senior branch of the House of Orléans, descendants of Ferdinand of Orléans, the Counts of Paris.
