Princess Sophie Joséphine Louise Marie Immaculée Gabrielle Philippine Henriette of Orléans (19 October 1898–9 October 1928); she was suggested as a potential bride for King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, but as soon as he discovered that she was intellectually disabled, the plan was dropped.
Princess Geneviève Marie Jeanne Françoise Chantal Monique Louise Alberte Joséphine Gabrielle Emmanuelle Henriette of Orléans (21 September 1901–22 August 1983); she married Antoine Marie François de Chaponay, Marquis de Chaponay-Morance on 2 July 1923. They had two children:
Henryane de Chaponay-Morance (8 May 1924-9 October 2019)
Pierre de Chaponay-Morance (24 January 1925-2 October 1943); he died at the age of eighteen during World War II.
Henriette was a great sportswoman, and was often considered the best shot among the Belgian royal women.[1] On one occasion, she killed a stag that had already killed another, making her very popular in Belgian sporting circles. She even earned the sobriquet the "Sporting Duchess". In 1908, she accompanied her husband to the Rocky Mountains in the United States to shoot grizzly bears.[1]
Henriette often completed royal engagements for her brother King Albert. In 1914 for instance, she visited a hospital in Neuilly that was treating American troops.[2] In two letters, Henriette and her sister-in-law Queen Elisabeth expressed their appreciation and asked for more support from the American Commission For Relief in Belgium, which had been giving donations to the Belgian people ever since the German invasion.[3]
