Report on the marriage of Prince Louis Philippe and Princess Marie Isabelle.
It may be of interest to note that Marie Isabelle had not reached her sixteenth birthday at the time of her marriage, she was born 21 September 1848 and married on 30 May 1864.
Girls as young as twelve (boys had to be fourteen) could get married in England until 1929 when the "Ages of Marriage Act 1929" changed the minimum age to sixteen for both sexes.

13.J8 Prince Antonia of Orleans (4th Duke of Galliera) Infante of Spain 1866 1930 Infanta Marie Eulalia of Spain 1864 1958 See 10.K - Antonia of Orleans (4th Duke of Galliera) inherited the title from a rich Genoa lady (Maria Brignole Sale De Ferrari) via a somewhat convoluted route.

The first Duchess of Galliera (1813 to 1817) was Princess Josephine of Leuchtenberg

The second Duchess of Galliera (1837-1888) was Maria Brignole Sale De Ferrari (1811-1888) wife of the Marquis Raffaele Ferrari (1808-1876) who was created Duke of Galliera by Pope Gregory XVI in 1837, both Maria and her husband Raffaele were extremely rich in their own rights.

They had three children, the oldest died one year of age, their second children Andrea (1831-1847) grew up as friend of Antonia's father Antoine of Orleans (Duke of Montpensier). Maria and Raffaele's youngest son Philip ( 1850 -1917 ) had no interest in titles or enormous wealth and when Maria Brignole Sale De Ferrari died her wealth and title (i.e. Galliera) were passed to Antoine of Orleans (Duke of Montpensier) in view of the friendship between him and her son Andrea.

I haven't located any reference to Antoine of Orleans (Duke of Montpensier) being designated (Duke of Galliera).

In 1895, King Umberto I of Italy recognised Antonio as the heir of the title Duke of Galliera (4th).
