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)?
