Allegendly Facts About: The Spares: Philippe I, Duke of Orléans

This Week on The Allegendly Podcast: The Spares! (Messy Royal Siblings) — Part I

This week, Alex and Joe kick off a brand‑new series diving into the royal family members who weren’t destined for the throne… and therefore had nothing but time, money, and emotional instability to work with.

Part I is all about Philippe I, Duke of Orléans — the fabulously dramatic, unexpectedly badass, fashion‑obsessed little brother of Louis XIV, the Sun King.And yes, he is exactly as chaotic as that description implies.

Expect:

A royal childhood where the Queen actively encouraged her son to be as flamboyant as possible to prevent him from becoming a warlord
A “spare” who shocked Europe by becoming a perfume‑soaked battlefield legend
A toxic male lover who may or may not have murdered Philippe’s wife (allegedly… but also maybe)
A second wife who wrote 60,000 letters dragging everyone at Versailles, including her own husband
A final screaming match between two royal brothers that ended in tragedy and shook the French court

It’s royal drama, political pettiness, battlefield glory, messy relationships, and the kind of historical gossip that proves the spares were always the most entertaining part of any monarchy.

Grab your lace cuffs, pour some wine, and enjoy the first chapter of the most chaotic royal‑sibling series we’ve ever done.
