There is another very close version dated 1900 and another varied and dated 1909 with the formula Everything that is national is ours.
Philippe, Duke of Orléans is remembered above all for having returned to France in 1890, thus defying the laws of exile which, since 1886, had kept the royal family away. Arrested after presenting himself at the Paris recruitment office to do his military service (which earned him the nickname "prince mess"), he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and expelled. Claimant to the throne of France since the death of his father in 1894, he lived most of his life in England. Married in 1896 to Archduchess Marie-Dorothée of Austria, he died without issue in 1926. His dynastic rights then passed to his cousin Jean, Duke of Guise, father of Prince Henri d'Orléans
