She was one of the four children of Prince Jean, Duke of Guise (1874–1940), who would become the Orleanist pretender to the French throne in 1926, and his wife Princess Isabelle of Orléans.[1] Although born in France, her parents moved the family to Morocco in 1909, then a French colony.[1] She was with her mother and siblings visiting France when World War I broke out in 1914. While her father sought in vain to obtain permission from the French government to serve in the military, the rest of the family hastened back to Morocco.[1]
