Yes, I agree with you. Without the annulment, the Pope could not legitimise the children, because Caroline was married to Junot.

: Yes, Caroline and Stephano were just lovers,

: Read the whole story. Princess Caroline

: I think one thing does not imply the other

: children of her second marriage legitimate
: after the annulment. But it was not an
: automatic consequence of the annulment.
:
: It can't be. For the Church, Caroline and
: Stefano were never anything more than
: lovers.

: Far from being "useless", in view
: of the circumstances, the annulment permits
: to consider the offsprings from the second
: marriage as legitimate (or at least not
: fruit of adultery).
