Some believed, erroneously as events turned out, that Infant Francisco de Asís was impotent, and there was perhaps a French expectation that the Spanish throne would thus eventually pass to the Infanta Luisa Fernanda or her descendants on the death of the Queen.
By the marriage of the Infanta with the Duke of Montpensier, the Crown of Spain is assured never to leave the House of Bourbon and the descendants of Philip V; and, at the same time, the prohibition established against any possible union between the Crowns of France and Spain will remain in full force.
The French Government therefore must either admit the descendants of the Duke of Montpensier are excluded by virtue of the renunciations in the Treaty of Utrecht, or they must acknowledge that they have violated the engagement contained in that Treaty." [Doc 44.
