That remark, that her son would never become King of France showed a sense of realism indeed. Beside the unlikely event of the French Republic becoming a monarchy again, in my opinion the claims of Louis-Alphonse de Bourbon are weak because of the international treaties which separated the House of Bourbon in a French and a Spanish branch and whic blocks the throne of France for the Spanish branch.
Supporters of Louis-Alphonse will fight the legitimity of these Treaties but that is an already lost battle.
If I understand your post correctly, Don Luis-Alfonso will become Marques de Villaverde and his uncle Don Francisco will become Duque de Franco?
Maybe this settlement was done because Don Luis-Alfonso already is Duc d'Anjou and the Dukedom of Franco would be 'snowed under' by the more historic and prominent title of Anjou.
