Antoine Meinrad, Ct of Flanders, Regent 1944-1950 (Brussels 10 Oct 1903-Ostende
1 Jun 1983; in Paris on 14 Sep 1977 he went through a religious ceremony blessing
his union with one Jacqueline Peyrebrune (b.La Réole 16 Feb 1921); The
situation is best explained by correspondence I received from Richard Thornton:
The final word seems to be in L'Allemagne
Dynastique, vol VII p 385 quoting Mme Schaack nee Peyrebrune herself and the
statement issued after the blessing of her and Prince Charles. Here is my
translation: "The religious marriage of Prince Charles does not appear in
the parish registers of Saint Pierre de Mountrouge. However, Mme Schaack, nee
Jacqueline Peyrebrune...has kindly informed us of the strictly private blessing
happily given, eight months after the death of M Georges Schaack, on 14.9.1977
by Father Marcelino Carrera who has given the following attestation: The
private blessing uniting before God Charles Theodore count of Flanders and
Louise Marie Jacqueline Peyrebrune was given at Saint Peter's at the altar of
the Sacred Heart on 14 September 1977. The mutual consent was received by your
humble brother in Christ [Fr Carrera] in the presence of Father Keller and
witnesses [comtesse Annie de Bergeret and Mme Marie Jeannette Aurelie Menahes].
The statement is also signed by the participants and witnesses. Similarly,
Madame Jacqueline (de) Peyrebrune who published in 1991 through Editions Tarmeye
her memoirs with the title Love in Shadow - the secret garden of Prince Charles
of Belgium followed in 1993, by the same publisher, by Carnets intimes....It
seems from the correspondence we have exchanged that she considers the union as
strictly private and celebrated only devant Dieu. Also, it should be noted that
a religious marriage cannot legally take place in French law unless it has been
preceded by a civil one."
There was no religious marriage and no civil one.
So, technically, Prince Charles died unmarried....
