You are welcome. The supposed father of the Comte de Paris was Gustave de Pierre de Bernis. He is seen in the photo found at this link -- he is in the top row, second from the right. See if you think there is a resemblance: http://www.noblesseetroyautes.com/archives-reunion-familiale-chez-la-reine-amelie-de-portugal/. The Comte's daughter Diane talks about the gossip regarding his parentage in one of her memoirs.
I have never heard this particular rumor, although I'm familiar with the one that claims that Princess Francoise's brother, the Comte de Paris, was not the son of the Duc de Guise.
I understand a relation of his conveyed to her confidantes that Prince Christopher was a prissy mama's boy who preferred 'white marriages' and as a consequence his second wife Fatty (no idea why they called her that nickname) was free to take lovers. Thanks, by the way: I had never heard there were questions as to the legitimacy of Henri, comte de Paris.
