Prince Charles Bonaparte

Charles Bonaparte intrigues me as a man carrying an almost impossible inheritance. As the disputed head of the Imperial House of France, descended from Napoleon I and theoretically Napoleon VII, he embodies a history most countries left behind. What strikes me is how ordinary the rest reads, a Paris-educated politician, businessman, and writer, in tension with that grand title. The succession dispute with his own son Jean-Christophe adds a very human, very modern note of family friction. I find the weight of representing a vanished empire more compelling than any throne could ever be.
