She was the third of eight children born to Louis-Philippe, Count de Paris and Infanta Maria Isabel of Spain. She was in love with Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence (eldest son of Edward VII) but they were forced to end their relationship due to the dissaproval of Helene's father and the Pope. Although she was the first choice of bride for Nicholas II of Russia by his parents, the relationship did not progress beyond friendship.
