In our TL, Charles Ferdinand, Duc de Berry (second son of then-future French King Charles X) got assassinated by a disgruntled Bonapartist in 1820:

What if the Duc de Berry would survive this assassination attempt?
One notable consequence of this is that he'll have more children (including more surviving sons)--thus massively increasing the odds that the elder branch of the House of Bourbon would survive past 1883 (which is when his only surviving son, Henri, Comte de Chambord passed away without having any children of his own).
Also, this raises some questions:
1. Does Louis-Philippe still seize the French throne for himself in 1830 if the Duc de Berry is still alive during this time?
2. Do the Orleanists still support Henri, Comte de Chambord's bid for the French throne in the early 1870s if Henri has male siblings who have sons of their own?
3. Is Henri, Comte de Chambord less stubborn in the early 1870s (for instance, by agreeing to accept the tricolor) if he knows that the French throne will go to his brother or nephew after his death instead of going to the Orleanists?
Thoughts?
