Relevance to Marie

Marie hears of his entanglement with Fanny Lear, whom the King had expelled from Italy, and of bills bearing a forged royal signature (056/1876-03-31, 056/1876-04-01; see Fanny Lear). On 21 April 1876, drawing Larderel, she notes: «Sa soeur est mariée au comte Mirafiori, le fils du Roi, celui qui a eu l'histoire avec Fanny Lear» (059.0110). In February 1877 Larderel shows her «sa sœur la comtesse de Mirafiore, bru du Roi» (068/1877-02-10).
