Duke of Anjou Philippe (Portrait on a snuffbox in the Walters Museum)

Biography

French Prince and second son of king Louis XV of France and Marie Leszczyńska. He was styled the Duke of Anjou from birth. He was the favourite child of his mother.

Always a sickly child, Philippe was cared for by a group of female attendants, as royal children were cared for by women until the age of 5. As part of their intensely superstitious beliefs, the women mixed in earth from the grave of Saint Medard with his food; the child was given so much earth that his organs failed. As a result, Philippe died at Versailles on 7 April 1733 at the age of 2, two months after Madame Louise.
