WI: Louis XV died in infancy

So I came across this:
In France in the seventeenth century, for example, the larger than life Louis XIV saw his only son, his eldest grandson, and his eldest great-grandson - all potential kings of France - die within the span of a year (the second-eldest great-grandson, the future Louis XV, was saved only by his governess, who locked herself in a room with the two year old prince and forbid any doctors to come in and “treat” him with bloodletting).
So what if the governess failed to save the young prince's life? FWIG, the next in the line of succession happened to be Phillip V, King of Spain; does this mean a dual monarchy was possibility?

Well at that point the Duc de Berri, Louis XIV's youngest grandson was still alive. If he doesn't die in a hunting accident I'd assume he'd become Dauphin and later Charles X. Originally the idea (in the early 1700s) was, in the event of Bourgogne dying sonless, to have Felipe V abdicate and become the French heir, with is brother Berri becoming King of Spain in his place. However, by this point Felipe is well established in Spain and I can't see the Spaniards taking King swapping happily.

Or, if Berri still dies childless like OTL and Louis XIV is still alive, I'd imagine that the Sun King would have either Infante Luis or one of his brothers (at this point Felipe had at least three sons with his Savoyard wife) sent to France as Dauphin.

The situation would be tricky, but chances are the Borbóns would win out over the Orléans without the need for a civil war or threat of a personal union.
 
Well now I feel like an idiot, since a bit of Wikipedia shows me that Phillip V was only able to take the Spanish throne by forgoing his claim to French throne. If Phillip V is indeed passed up, the next in line would be the Duke of Orleans. On the other hand...
Spanish War of Succession 2.0?
I suppose this would technically be the War of French Succession, between those who supporting a dual monarchy with Spain and those supporting the Orleans claim.

Sorry, should have added "assuming Berri still dies as OTL".

Well there you go then.
 
That's what the Orleans wanted.

The fact remains that Philip V was the last living grandson of Louis XIV and that he had many sons.

The key provision of the treaty of Utrecht concluding the war of spanish succession was never having personal union between France and Spain. It was not about so much about forbidding at all costs and forever Philip V or any of his children to become king of France if the elder branch of the Bourbons ever extincted.

Consider the fact that after teenager Louis XV recovered from a disease that many thought would kill himthe young king, the regent, duke of Orléans, hurried to organize the marriage of Louis XV to make sure he would quickly have a son. This was certainly due to loyalty. But this was no less certainly due to the fact that the regent was perfectly aware that his claim to the throne of France would not stand against a grand son or a great-grandson of Louis XIV on the male line.

The truest reason for this is that, as law and history scholars have established, that the provision forbidding Philip of Anjou, king of Spain, and his descendants becoming king of France was contrary to one of the kingdoms of France's fundamental laws : the principle of inalienability of the crown, meaning that the crown of France was not a private asset of a dynast. This principle had been strongly established since the 100 years war. The king could not choose his heir nor disinherit his legal heir.

By this time, Philip V of Spain had 3 or 4 living sons :
- Louis (1707-1724),
- Ferdinand (1713-1759),
- Charles (1713-1788),
- Philip (1720-1765).

Then what's with the regent annulling the will of Louis XIV where he legitimised his illegitimate sons and incorporated them into the line of succession?
 
Well, he was able to have it done by the "Parliament" (meaning the Supreme Court) of Paris because Louis XIV will adopting his bastard sons in case young Louis XV would die sonless was precisely violating the fundamental laws of the kingdom.
