The second wife of Charles II

Wouldn't be the first time that that's happened... "Excuse me, Miss Marie Anne Louise de Bourbon?" "Oh no, silly, that's my half-sister, I'm Anne Marie Louise de Bourbon". Small wonder the French court worked on titles "Mademoiselle de Blois" "de Tours" "de Nantes" (for Louis XIV's bastards) or Madame Première, Seconde, Troisieme etc (for Louis XV's girls), makes it so much less confusing (not!).
Oh, yes...
