Telltale Heart Deals Blow to Pretender to a Throne
This article from the NY Times (registration req'd) profiles "Prince Charles Louis Edmond de Bourbon, count of Poitiers - or, for short, King Charles XII by Right, the legitimate heir to the French throne..." but.. since the DNA from this heart doesn't line up with his... it mustn't be the real thing...

Is that a Faberge` heart container, or a cheap knockoff?

From CNN-article :
"There, it was placed in a royal crypt containing the remains of Louis XVII's parents, Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI." Maybe I'm wrong but Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI were not burried in a crypt but thrown in mass-graves.

From www.wikipedia.com:
On the 16th of October 1793 Marie Antoinette was led to the guillotine, leaving behind her a touching letter to Madame Elizabeth, known as her "Testament." She is buried in Saint Denis Basilica, Paris, France next to her husband, King Louis XVI of France.

Ok, checked it out. They were actually thrown into mass-graves, but in 1815 they were exhumed an burried in Saint-Denis...
My fault. But actually Louis XVI should be named Roi des Français (king of frenchmen). That was his last title.

a mass grave makes much more sense - the French hated those people!

Yes, until 1815, when the reign of Bonaparte was over and France became a monarchy again...
