In return, Legitimists in the Assembly agreed that, should Chambord die childless, Philippe d ' Orléans would succeed him as king.

She did this by liberating Orléans and defeating the English invaders on several occasions.

By an ordinance of Louis Philippe I of France of 13 August 1830, it was decided that the king's children ( and his sister ) would continue to bear the arms of Orléans, that Louis-Philippe's eldest son, as Prince Royal, would bear the title of duc d ' Orléans, that the younger sons would continue to have their existing titles, and that the sister and daughters of the king would only be styled " princesses d ' Orléans ", which meant the Orléans royalty did not take the name " of France ".

But the rank of petit-fils de France being higher than that of premier prince, Philippe did not change his style ; nor did his son or other heirs make use of the Monsieur le Prince style which had been so long associated with the cadet branch of the Princes de Condé that the heads of the House of Orléans preferred to be known at court by their ducal title.

These stories were entirely without foundation ( the Dauphin died of smallpox, the Duc de Berry in a riding accident and the others of measles ) but they did great damage to Orléans ' reputation, and even Louis XIV seems to have at least half-believed them.

The king did not want the House of Orléans to be as powerful as it had been during the regency of Orléans ' father.

A new candidate was sought urgently because, should Louis die with no heir, and assuming Philippe V of Spain did not seize the throne, then it would pass to the new duc d ' Orléans, son of the deceased regent ; the House of Orléans and the House of Condé were rivals, so this would cast Monsieur le Duc into the political wastelands.

These were followed by Charles X and Henry V as protectors of the order until 1830 but after this period the order did not enjoy the explicit protection of the French crown until 2004 when the fons honorum was renewed by HRH prince Henri d ' Orléans, Count of Paris, Duke of France, as the head of the Royal House of France.,

After 1709, the heads of the Orléans branch of the House of Bourbon ranked as the premier princes du sang-this meant that the dukes could be addressed as Monsieur le Prince ( a style they did not, however, use ) and that, should there be no heir to the crown of France in the king's immediate family, then the Orléans family would ascend the throne by right.
