Hello, archduchessofnowhere here. I had a question related to the divorce and I thought you may know about it. Auguste and Eugène seemed actually worried about the future of their children during this time, which made me wonder, what was exactly the state of their daughters in those years? Did they had a title or... Anything at all? Was there a guarantee for them in case the whole crown of Italy thing fell through?

Ooohh! This is an excellent question, thank you so much! 💖 May I elaborate a little further and also include the mother? Because Auguste's situation in early 1810 was almost equally unclear.

Just as a general rule: nobility titles in Napoleon's empire have a somewhat different meaning than in a traditional monarchy. Most often, they are little more than names - and often "noms de guerre", like in case of many marshals whose titles refer to important battles they had won under Napoleon's instruction (he did not hand out titles for battles that had taken place without his supervision). Another marshal, Soult, was "Duc de Dalmatie", Duke of Dalmatia - a region that he had never set a foot in. In a similar way, Eugène was at some point made "Prince of Venice". This however did not give him any particular rights on or in Venice. It was really just a name.

So, under Napoleon's rule, having or not having a title of nobility was to some degree just a matter of vanity and not of actual importance. In truth, it could become a real financial burden, as the title usually was connected to a "majorat", i.e., a certain mass of land and money holdings that had to pass on to the heir in its entirety if the son was to inherit the title. Few of Napoleon's nobles had an income that allowed them to maintain such vast estates without difficulty.

But I digress already.

First of all, both girls were “imperial princesses”. That was the only really important thing; they belonged to Napoleon’s closer family circle (even if he had only seen little Joséphine once). Auguste at some point feared she would have to send the girls to Paris when they were seven, in order to be brought up at court; her sister-in-law calmed her nerves by assuring her that this was only true for boys (like Hortense’s own sons) and that the emperor didn’t care at all about daughters.

Little Joséphine, Eugène's older daughter, had received the title of "Princesse de Bologne" in the year she was born (attributed to her on 20 Decembre 1807, according to the Archives de France, and in the final days of the empire, she would briefly become a "Duchesse de Galliera" in addition to that). Bologna was an important city in the Kingdom of Italy her father administered in Napoleon's name, so Eugène's daughter receiving this title in the eyes of the Italians must have strengthened their impression that this was indeed their future royal family. (Or maybe Napoleon just tried to sweeten the disappointment that it had "only" been a girl.)

I am unaware of any similar titles for the second daughter Eugénie, or of any other financial arrangements being made for their future, but I admit I never studied this much. It would not surprise me, however, if Napoleon really had neglected to care much about these two girls who, technically, were his (adoptive) grand-daughters. At the end of 1808, when Eugénie was born, Napoleon's plans had already changed drastically, and surely did not include a Kingdom of Italy under the rule of a Beauharnais.

However, for their mother there was no clear plan for what would happen in the event of Eugène's death either. You have probably read in Adalbert’s biography that the marriage contract between Eugène and Auguste (that of course had been negotiated without them) spoke of the duchy of Parma and Piacenza as her widow’s provision. But there was a problem: By 1808, this duchy had ceased to exist, and the territory had been annexed to France.

I don't think anyone had any illusions about the extent to which Napoleon would hand this territory back now that he had it in his clutches. 😁 Before the “divorce”, however, nobody had paid much attention to that; it was just implied that Eugène would one day be king of Italy, and that one day the Kingdom of Italy would be responsible for the alimentation of its widowed queen.

All of which went out the window as soon as Napoleon withdrew Eugène's status of heir presumptive.

Eugène’s situation remained unclear for several weeks even after Napoleon had given Joséphine the boot. There were some vague plans for a new “principality of Raab” at first (which would probably have been just as unprofitable as most of the territories Napoleon gobbled together for his nobles), but then Napoleon settled for the “grand duchy of Frankfurt” as Eugène’s inheritance.

Just for comparison: The Kingdom of Italy had six million inhabitans. The grand duchy of Frankfurt had 600,000. And Auguste did not like it. As her husband later often said, somewhat apologetically: “She is a princesse. She was taught to consider that kind of things important.” - So please make sure I bring back home something to make her happy. I don’t want to sleep on the couch!

But when we speak about ladies whose financial security was left to chance, we could just as well look at the girl’s grandmother, at empress Joséphine herself. The French constitution said that the emperor would take measures to ensure her alimentation in case she became a widow. Except he never had. That’s what made the negotiations with Eugène - that I so would have loved to overhear - necessary in the first place. If I am not very much mistaken, the only thing Joséphine had in writing were the regulations from her marriage contract in March 1796. Which granted her a pension of 1,500 Francs in case of a separation.

A pension that, for Josephine, might just have lasted until dinnertime on the first day of that separation. 😁 So, in a way the “divorce” negotiations for her went pretty well. Technically, Napoleon could have kicked her out without a penny.

Thanks again for the question, and sorry if I babbled on too much! I’m always so excited to talk about Eugène!

The Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris

Officially named the Palais Galliera–Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, this incredible fashion museum owes its existence to the Duchesse de Galliera, once the wealthiest woman in France. In 1878 she began building a Renaissance-style mansion to house her treasured art collection. What happened next would change everything for her. Here’s the rest of the story of how this Renaissance-inspired…

Schiaparelli Spring 2024 Couture

From Sarah Mower's review for Vogue:

It was a case of back to the future, then—a meld of retro technology, classic sci-fi movies, and references to the grand haute couturiers of the past and Roseberry’s Texan upbringing. There were exoskeleton dresses and an entire 3D spine inspired by both Elsa Schiaparelli’s radical 1938 skeleton dress and Giger aliens from the Alien movie series. Silver-tipped Western belt buckles formed a corset and bristled up over the arched sleeves of a biker jacket and along the flanks of a pair of jeans. A heavily embroidered, sculptural black velvet cape was paired with casually belted sandy suede pants. “Dressage braids” inspired the knots on a cream leather suit that nearly looked like it could have been a space uniform from NASA.

Maggie Maurer, nestling a robot baby on her hip, was wearing a white singlet and conceptual couture cargo pants—Roseberry’s tribute to Sigourney Weaver as Ripley. “I’ve watched the Alien series, like, six times,” he said. His robot-woman dress and the baby were glittering constructs of nostalgic tech elements like defunct electronic motherboards, CDs, flip phones, mirrors, and gems—“all things that I grew up with that now seem as antiquated as Charles James!” the designer said.

Haute couture is the last handmade bastion of fashion that still exists, the place where extreme fantasias can manifest because of human skills. Roseberry leaned strongly into that. An equal part of his couture research was looking at the wonders of Cristóbal Balenciaga (the capes, the volumes) and Yves Saint Laurent (the black cropped tribute jacket with white sequined lapels), which Azzedine Alaïa collected and are currently exhibited at the Palais Galliera. Roseberry didn’t neglect to design a segment of gowns with an eye to the awards season, a duchesse satin balloon dress outstanding among them. But maybe there was a final comment from him on the value of hands-on human creativity versus AI to be read in the most normal-looking outfit on the runway. It was a pencil threaded through the collar of a white shirt. “It’s from our studio,” he smiled.
