Marie Clémentine Léopoldine Caroline Clotilde d'Orléans (born June 3, 1817 in Neuilly-sur-Seine , † February 16, 1907 in Vienna ) was a princess of France.
Life
Clementine was a daughter of Louis Philippe I d'Orléans , King of the French , and Maria Amalia of Bourbon, Princess of the Two Sicilies.
She married Prince August von Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha , son of Prince Ferdinand Georg August von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld-Koháry and Maria Antonie Gabriele von Koháry , on April 21, 1843 in Saint-Cloud, France.
She strongly supported the appointment of her favorite son Ferdinand as Prince of Bulgaria in 1887. With diplomatic skills and a lot of money she then helped him to stabilize his rule until her death. As the "princess mother" she gained great popularity in Bulgaria.
Clementine died on February 16, 1907 at the age of 89. She is buried next to her husband in the so-called Koháry crypt of the Catholic parish church St. Augustin in Coburg.
