Prince Jean d'Orléans (called comte de Paris) has issued the following Christmas message:

-------

We wish you a happy Christmas for yourself, your families and your loved ones.

May the Holy Family keep you in its protection.

Our wishes also go to our dear country. May it find the path to prosperity and happiness for all French people.

Finally, we send our best wishes to the poor and neglected. May, despite the difficulties, Christmas bring them joy and comfort.

Jean, comte de Paris
