Philippe Delorme grew up in the working-class suburbs of Paris, where he followed the traditional education of public school. In college, a teacher develops his taste for history.[2]
In 1989, he joined Point de Vue [
fr]. He collaborated there, as a
grand reporter until 2015,[6] then he continued to collaborate there occasionally as an editor. Soon, he is considered by the media as an "
historian specialist of royal families".[7]
In March 2016, he joins Valeurs actuelles, where he regularly publishes a chronicle and historical papers.[8]
Works on the history of dynasties
In 2000, he was one of the promoters of genetic studies carried out on the heart of
Louis XVII, kept at the
Saint-Denis basilica. This investigation, of which he is responsible for the historical part, concludes that the relic is authentic,[9][10] without really convincing some people of the end a those two-century-old dispute.[11]
In 2013, he challenged the alleged rediscovery of the mummified head of
Henry IV. All of his objections are published in the book La Mauvaise Tête de Henri IV, prefaced by Professor
Joël Cornette [
fr], of the
Paris 8 University.[12][13] He cosigned also a genetic study on the Y DNA of the Bourbons, confirming the inauthenticity of the head presented as that of Henri IV.[14]
The same year, with Nicolas Doyen and Julien Morvan, he created the association "For the return to
Saint-Denis of
Charles X and the last of the Bourbons", buried in Slovenia since the 19th century.[15][16][5]
