Louis XVI remembered

This Sunday the 230th anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI  was commemorated by Royalists in France.  The Duke of Anjou, "Louis XX", put in a personal appearance for Mass at the Chapelle Expiatoire. 

See: Aux côtés du Roi le 22 janvier 2023, par Louis de Lauban (vexilla-galliae.fr)

Here is the Duke of Anjou's Tweet:

The only reference I found in the English-speaking press was this strange video on NTD, a fringe religious news service based in New York. Watch out for the appearance of the indomitable Marion Sigaut!

For a more balanced view of Louis XVI's execution, the  BnF site "RetroNews" publishes a new interview  with Jean-Clément Martin (in French).
