What if Henri, Comte de Chambord (this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri,_Count_of_Chambord ) had a son--perhaps as a result of having a different wife?

With a son, would Henri have been more willing to compromise in the early 1870s when a monarchical restoration in France was a very real possibility? Also, would the Orleanists have still supported Chambord's claim to the French throne if his successor would have been his son rather than one of their own (an Orleanist)?

Yes, they could.

However, would his dad be less stubborn in this TL in the early 1870s? For instance, would he accept the tricolor (and presumably also accept significant limitations on his power as monarch)?

He’s going to have to either go one or two ways, accept it, or abdicate his claim in favour of his son

If they have a good relationship his son could possibly talk Henri around into accepting some things. Maybe?

Of course, it's possible the kid could could take after his dad and be equally conservative/stodgy/stubborn (giving the kid a more moderate/liberal-leaning mother could help prevent this).
