Is Napoleon back?

Citizens across our vexed continent will be heartened by the impending marriage in Paris of two people known until now only to the immensely wealthy and the strewn remnants of Europe’s royal dynasties: Jean-Christophe Napoleon Bonaparte and Countess Olympia von und zu Arco-Zinnerberg.

The former is the great-great-great nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte I, and regarded by Bonapartists as the French dictator’s sole heir. The countess is the great-granddaughter of Karl I of Austria.
