Princess Louise Adélaïde d'Orléans was a twin daughter of Louis Philippe II of Orléans, known as Philippe Égalité and his wife Louise Marie Adélaïde de Bourbon-Penthièvre. During the French Revolution, in 1792, she fled France with her governess, Madame de Genlis, and went to Belgium and later Switzerland where she joined a convent. During the Reign of Terror her father was executed by guillotine and her mother was banished to Spain. Princess Louise Adélaïde returned to Paris on the restoration of her brother, Louis-Philippe to the throne, and became one of his most loyal advisors.
A portrait miniature of the present sitter by Frédéric Millet (d. 1859) is in the British Royal Collection (see R. Walker, Miniatures in the Collection of Her Majesty The Queen, Cambridge, 1992, illustrated p. 428, no. 962).
