In the 17th century, the Queen of France raised her son Philippe as a girl to prevent him from becoming a rival to his brother, Louis XIV. This unusual upbringing aimed to diminish Philippe's masculinity and potential threat to the throne. Philippe was dressed in feminine clothing and encouraged to adopt effeminate behaviors from a young age. As an adult, he developed a bisexual identity, marrying twice while also having male partners. His extravagant lifestyle and feminine appearance were notable, leading to mixed perceptions at court. Despite his upbringing, Philippe served valiantly in military campaigns, showcasing a complex duality in his identity.
