On February 14, 1820, Charles Ferdinand d'Artois, duc de Berry, younger son of the Comte d'Artois, the brother and heir to King Louis XVIII of France, was assassinated by a lone nut. Miraculously, Berry's widow was soon discovered to be pregnant, and on September 29 bore a son, the "miracle baby" Henri d'Artois, duc de Bordeaux. This meant there was a future for the elder line, saving the dynasty.

The POD I propose is fairly morbid, but bear with me. Suppose that Berry's widow, devestated by the loss of her husband, ends up delivering a stillborn child? What next? What are the consequences for the July Revolution?
