The Sun newspaper features an article on an unlikely pretender to the French crown, the splendidly named Indian lawyer, Balthazar Napoleon IV de Bourbon.
The "House of Bourbon-Bhopal", traces its descent from a nephew of Henri IV who served at the court of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. It's all a bit tenuous, but possibly no more so than the claims made by all those imaginary descendants of Louis XVII.
