Kingdom of the French
Royaume des Français
House of Bourbon-Orleans
The July Monarchy (French: la monarchie de Juillet),
officially the Kingdom of the French (French: Royaume des Français), was a period of liberal constitutional monarchy
in France under King Louis-Philippe starting with the July Revolution (or Three Glorious Days) of 1830 and ending with the
Revolution of 1848. It began with the overthrow of the conservative government of Charles X and his senior line of the House
of Bourbon. Louis-Philippe, a member of the traditionally more liberal Orléans branch of the House of Bourbon, proclaimed
himself roi des Français ("King of the French") rather than roi de France ("King of France"), emphasizing
the popular origins of his reign. The new regime's ideal was explicated by Louis-Philippe's famous statement in January 1831:
"We will attempt to remain in a juste milieu (the just middle), in an equal distance from the excesses of popular power
and the abuses of royal power.
The Family Titles and Styles
The members of the Orléanist
branch who are not products of morganatic marriages have been accorded the title of Prince or Princess d'Orléans, together
with the formal appellation of His or Her Royal Highness, unless other titles are shown and the children of the head and the
heir apparent of that line have now been accorded the title Prince or Princess of France together with the formal appellation
of His or Her Royal Highness.
The Genealogy of the Royal House
