Biography

Jean-Christophe was born in Saint-Raphaël, Var the son of Prince Charles Napoléon and Princess Béatrice of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, the daughter of Prince Ferdinand, Duke of Castro, a former claimant to the headship of the Royal House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. He is the great-great-great-grandnephew of Napoléon Bonaparte.

His grandfather, Prince Louis Napoléon, who died in 1997, stipulated in his will that he wished Jean-Christophe to be his successor.[1] Despite the dynastic dispute, Prince Jean-Christophe's father Prince Charles has stated that "there will never be conflict" between him and his son over the imperial succession.[2]

Jean-Christophe has studied at the Institut IPESUP and the HEC School of Management.
