Interesting article about the Beauharnais family:

http://aboutroyalty.blogs...ily-unexpected-royal.html


While she wasn't able to provide Napoleon with issue, she had 2 children from her 1st marriage to Alexandre de Beauharnais ​(m. 1779; died 1794).

1)
Eug�ne Rose de Beauharnais, Duke of Leuchtenberg (3 September 1781 � 21 February 1824) was a French nobleman, statesman, and military commander who served during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. Eug�ne Rose de Beauharnais was born in Paris on 3 September 1781 to the noble Beauharnais family. He was the son of Viscount Alexandre de Beauharnais and Jos�phine Tascher de la Pagerie, both born in the French colony of Martinique. Alexandre was executed by guillotine in 1794, a few days before the end of the revolutionary Reign of Terror Through the second marriage of his mother, Jos�phine de Beauharnais, he was the stepson of Napoleon Bonaparte. Under the French Empire, he also became Napoleon's adopted son (but not the heir to the imperial throne). He commanded the Army of Italy during the Napoleonic Wars and was Viceroy of the Kingdom of Italy under his stepfather. Historians consider him one of Napoleon's most able relatives

On 14 January 1806, two days after his adoption by Napoleon, Eug�ne married Princess Augusta Amalia Ludovika Georgia of Bavaria (1788�1851), eldest daughter of Napoleon's ally, King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria. On 14 November 1817, his father-in-law made him Duke of Leuchtenberg and Prince of Eichst�tt.Eug�ne and Augusta had seven children.

1. Princess Jos�phine Maximiliane Eug�nie Napol�onne de Beauharnais (1807�1876); became the Queen Consort to King Oscar I of Sweden, himself the son of Napoleon's old love, D�sir�e Clary. she is an ancestor of the current royal family of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Luxembourg
2. Princess Eug�nie Hortense Auguste de Beauharnais (1808�1847); married Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen.this marriage was without issue
3. Prince Auguste Charles Eug�ne Napol�on de Beauharnais, 2nd Duke of Leuchtenberg (1810�1835); married Queen Maria II of Portugal. There was no issue from this marriage.
4. Princess Am�lie Auguste Eug�nie Napol�one de Beauharnais (31 July 1812 � 26 January 1873); was the second wife of Pedro I of Brazil (father of Maria II of Portugal) and became Empress of Brazil.She had 1 daughter,  Princess Maria Am�lia, who apparently was intended to marry Archduke Maximilian of Austria (younger brother of Emperor Franz Joseph), But she died before it could happen
5. Princess Theodelinde Louise Eug�nie Auguste Napol�one de Beauharnais (1814�1857); married Wilhelm, 1st Duke of Urach.The couple had 4 daughters. Some of them married into noble families. The current Urach family descends from Wilhelm's second marriage with Florestine of Monaco
6. Princess Carolina Clotilde de Beauharnais (1816)
7. Prince Maximilian Jos�phe Eug�ne Auguste Napol�on de Beauharnais (1817�1852); married Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaievna of Russia, eldest daughter of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, and received the title of "Prince Romanovsky", addressed as "His Imperial Highness", in 1852. Maximilian and Maria had 7 children. Through his oldest surviving daughter Princess Maria Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg (1841�1914), he is the grandfather of Prince Maximilian of Baden (1867�1929), Chancellor of Germany during World War I, and Princess Marie of Baden, the last Duchess consort of Anhalt. His youngest daughter Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg (1845�1925) married Duke Alexander Petrovich of Oldenburg (1844�1932), the grandson of Grand Duchess Catherine Pavlovna of Russia, and became the mother of Duke Peter Alexandrovich of Oldenburg (1868�1924), the divorced husband of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia (1882�1960), the youngest sister of Nicholas II of Russia.


2)
Hortense Eug�nie C�cile Bonaparte (n�e de Beauharnais,)(10 April 1783 � 5 October 1837) was Queen consort of Holland. She was the stepdaughter of Emperor Napol�on I as the daughter of his first wife, Jos�phine de Beauharnais. Hortense later married Napol�on I�s brother, Louis Bonaparte, who had been made King of Holland, making her her stepfather�s sister-in-law. She was the mother of Napol�on III, Emperor of the French; Louis II of Holland; and Napol�on Louis Charles Bonaparte who died at the age of four. She also had an illegitimate son, Charles, Duke of Morny, with her lover, the Comte de Flahaut.

With Louis Bonaparte, she had three sons:
1. Napol�on Louis Charles Bonaparte (10 October 1802 - 5 May 1807), who died when he was four years old.
2. Napol�on Louis Bonaparte (11 October 1804 - 17 March 1831), who married Charlotte Napol�one Bonaparte on 23 July 1826.He was King of Holland for less than two weeks in July 1810 as Louis II (Dutch: Lodewijk II). On 23 July 1826 Napol�on Louis married his first cousin, Charlotte, who was the daughter of Joseph Bonaparte, eldest brother of Napol�on I. He and his younger brother Louis-Napol�on Bonaparte settled in Italy, where they espoused liberal politics and became involved with the Carbonari, an organization fighting Austria's domination of northern Italy. On 17 March 1831, while fleeing Italy due to a crackdown on revolutionary activity by Papal and Austrian troops, Napol�on Louis, suffering from measles, died in Forl�
3. Charles-Louis Napol�on Bonaparte, later Napoleon III (20 April 1808 - 9 January 1873), who married Eug�nie de Palafox, Countess of Montijo on 29 January 1853. Louis Napoleon has a historical reputation as a womanizer, yet he said: "It is usually the man who attacks. As for me, I defend myself, and I often capitulate." He had many mistresses. During his reign, it was the task of Count Felix Bacciochi, his social secretary, to arrange for trysts and to procure women for the Emperor's favours. His affairs were not trivial sideshows: they distracted him from governing, affected his relationship with the empress, and diminished him in the views of the other European courts. His wife, Eug�nie, resisted his advances prior to marriage. She was coached by her mother and her friend, Prosper M�rim�e. "What is the road to your heart?" Napoleon demanded to know. "Through the chapel, Sire," she answered.Yet, after marriage, it took not long for him to stray as Eug�nie found sex with him "disgusting". It is doubtful that she allowed further approaches by her husband once she had given him an heir. The couple had 1 son: Louis-Napol�on, Prince Imperial (16 March 1856 � 1 June 1879). After his father was dethroned in 1870, he moved with his family to England. On his father's death in January 1873, he was proclaimed by the Bonapartist faction as Napoleon IV. In England, he trained as a soldier. Keen to see action, he persuaded the British to allow him to participate in the Anglo-Zulu War. In 1879, serving with British forces, he was killed in a skirmish with a group of Zulus. His early death caused an international sensation and sent shockwaves throughout Europe, as he was the last serious dynastic hope for the restoration of the House of Bonaparte to the throne of France. During the 1870s, there was some talk of a marriage between him and Queen Victoria's youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice.Queen Victoria also reportedly believed that it would be best for "the peace of Europe" if the prince became Emperor of France. The prince remained a devout Catholic, and he retained hopes that the Bonapartist cause might eventually triumph if the secularising Third Republic failed. He supported the tactics of Eug�ne Rouher over those of Victor, Prince Napol�on, breaking with Victor in 1876.

With Charles Joseph, Comte de Flahaut, she had one son:
1. Charles Auguste Louis Joseph (21 October 1811 - 10 March 1865), whom his half-brother Napol�on III created Duke of Morny in 1862. He had married at Saint Petersburg on 7 January 1857, Princess Sofia Sergeyevna Trubetskaya (Moscow, 25 March 1836 � 8 August 1898), the only daughter of Prince Sergey Vasilyevich Trubetskoy (1814 � 12 May (30 April Old Style), 1859) and his wife Ekaterina Petrovna Mussina-Pushkina (1 February 1816 � c. 1897).  They had 4 children. They married apparently into Spanish / of Spanish origin nobles. His youngest child was Mathilde 'Max' de Morny. Extravagant conduct made Morny a celebrity of the Belle �poque and despite the 1881 marriage to the well-known gay man Jacques Godart, 6th Marquis de Belbeuf (1850�1906)�whom Morny divorced in 1903�Morny was open about preferring women. Though love between those perceived as women was then fashionable, Morny was attacked for this, especially for having a very masculine dress and attitude. At this time a woman wearing trousers could still scandalize even if the person was legally authorized, as in the case of lesbian artist Rosa Bonheur (who sought police permission to wear trousers to make it easier for her to paint in the countryside). Missy wore a full three-piece suit (which, as with trousers, was forbidden in France for anyone but men), had short hair, and smoked a cigar.Morny became a lover of several women in Paris, including Liane de Pougy and Colette. From summer 1906 onwards, Colette and Morny lived together in the "Belle Plage" villa in Le Crotoy, where Colette wrote Les Vrilles de la vigne and La Vagabonde which would be adapted for the screen by Musidora. On 3 January 1907 the two put on a pantomime entitled R�ve d'�gypte ("Dream of Egypt") at the Moulin Rouge, in which Morny caused a scandal by playing an Egyptologist during a love scene with a woman � a kiss between them almost caused a riot and the production was stopped by the prefect of police Louis L�pine. From then on they could no longer live together openly, though the relationship lasted until 1912. Morny also inspired the character "La Chevali�re" in Colette's novel Le Pur et l'impur, described as dressed "in dark masculine attire, belying any notion of gaiety or bravado... High born, she slummed it like a prince."On 21 June 1910 the couple bought the manor of "Rozven" at Saint-Coulomb in Brittany (its owner, Baron du Crest, refused the sale because Mathilde was not dressed as a woman and so Colette signed the deed instead) � on the same day the first chamber of the tribunal de grande instance for the Seine departement pronounced Colette's divorce from Henry Gauthier-Villars. When they separated a year later, Colette kept the house

The Daily Mail did an entertaining little write up on three pretenders to the French crown �Heirs to Napoleon? Or middle-aged bankers with posh friends? These three men quite genuinely believe they are rival contenders for the vacant throne of France...�
