According to reports in the American press, Infante Don Luis Fernando of Orleans-Borbon. The prince, 50, said he would soon begin divorce proceedings against his wife, 80-year-old Princess Amédée de Broglie, the widow of Prince Amédée de Broglie. The princess was born Marie Say, the granddaughter of Louis Auguste Say.
They were married in 1930 after the prince was forced to end his engagement with Mabel Gilman Corey, an American actress.
The prince has told reporters that his mother, Infanta Eulalia, approves of his forthcoming marriage, although he will not name the American lady.
He had ended his engagement with Mrs. Corey, a divorcee, because of his mother's disapproval.
Luis Fernando now lives in Venice, where he met the American girl in March.

Was this marriage to the older woman a rebellion against his own mother? Or did he need a new mother? Finally at 50 he's found himself presumably a younger woman and with mother's approval. Serious mother complex issues here; reacting against the mother, replacing her and later getting her approval. This man never left home.
