- Great-great grandmother of Aimone Duca D'Aosta.
- Her daughter Princess Hélène and Prince Albert Victor fell in love and sought to marry. The match was supported by Marie Isabelle, Albert's parents King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra and grandmother Queen Victoria. The Catholic Hélène offered to become an Anglican so that Albert wouldn't have to forfeit his claim to the throne, but her father would not consent, a decision supported by Leo XIII, to whom Hélène had beseeched for a dispensation. She ultimately married The Duke of Aosta, cousin of King Victor Emmanuel III. Hélène's grandson is Amedeo Duca D'Aosta.
