The Imperial House of France during the First French Empire was the family of Napoleon, including the House of Bonaparte, who held imperial titles as Emperor, Empress, Imperial Prince, or French Prince, and who were in the order of succession to the French imperial throne in accordance with the French constitution of 1804. According to Title III, Article 9 ("The Imperial Family"), "the members of the imperial family in the order of succession, bear the title of Princes of France (princes français)" and "the eldest son of the Emperor bears the title Prince Imperial (prince impérial)."
