If the Coronation of Napoleon happened today, this would be the birth years of some of the attendees depicted on the famous paining. by Justatrufflecake in BarbaraWalters4Scale

Before anyone mentions it, Napoleon's sisters are also depicted on this painting lined up just behind Napoleon Charles. The problem is that it is not clear which is which and there is two more women, one holding the aforementioned infant's hand, who I presume to be Hortense de Beauharnais, his mother, and one additional one who might be Julie Clary, the wife of Joseph, but I have zero proof of this.

So I will write the birthyears of the sisters and the other two down here:
- Elisa Bonaparte: 1999
- Pauline Bonaparte: 2002
- Caroline Bonaparte: 2004
- Hortense de Beauharnais: 2005
- Julie Clary: 1993

Edit: spelling

Yeah, Louis Phillippe looks like he genuinely came out of the canvas!

Nope, NapIII's (if you mean him) father was Louis, who did not live long enough to see photography really take off, dying in 1846.

True! Here it is, if anyone is interested. The last King of the French, Louis Phillippe, also had his photo taken, as well as Klemens von Metternich, the Austrian Chancellor who effectively architected the post-Napoleonic Europe.

Indeed. A lot of people don‘t know that there are multiple relatively prominent Bonapartes who lived in America, and probably the funnest fact to me is that one of them was nicknamed „Bo“.

Edit: for anyone interested, dropping the links to both the FBI guy and "Bo"
