Posthumous Memoirs Expose Duchess of Berry Secret Marriage
The Countess de Boigne reveals in volume IV that the rural Duchess of Berry did not secretly marry before the birth of her daughter Rosalie in 1831. The Count Lucchesi Palli had not seen her, was in debt in The Hague, and only later met her in Palermo where a private ecclesiastical marriage occurred. The tale ties to the Duchess’s children and the political aftermath in France.
