Comment

The Société du Prince Impérial (or according to its rules: Société du Prince-Impérial, prêts de l'enfance au travail) is a former French non-denominational charitable organization. It was founded during the Second Empire, by Empress Eugénie under the patronage of her son the Prince Imperial, and recognized as a public utility by imperial decree in September 1862.
