He was the only child of Honoré Théodoric d'Albert de Luynes, 8th Duke of Luynes, and Marie Françoise Dauvet de Maineville, who were married from 1822 until her death on 23 July 1824. After his mother's death, his father married Jeanne d'Amys de Ponceau. His father was a prominent writer on archaeology who is most remembered for the collection of exhibits he gave to the Cabinet des Médailles, and for supporting the exiled Comte de Chambord's claim to the throne of France.
His father was the eldest son of Charles Marie d'Albert, 7th Duke of Luynes (a grandson of Guy André Pierre de Montmorency-Laval, 1st Duke of Laval) and Françoise Ermessinde de Narbonne-Pelet. His maternal grandparents were Gabriel-Nicolas Dauvet, Marquis de Maineville, and Marie-Françoise Vachon de Belmont-Briançon.[1]

The Duke of Chevreuse died on 9 January 1854,[3] predeceasing his father. Upon his father's death in December 1867, his eldest son, Charles Honoré, inherited the dukedom of Luynes.[9] His widow outlived him and all three of their children before her death in 1900.[2]
Through his only daughter Marie, he was posthumously a grandfather of Louise de Sabran-Pontevès (1864–1914), who married Jules Jean Marie de Baillardel, Baron of Lareinty, in 1885. In 1890, their son Jean de Lareinty-Tholozan was born and, in 1891, he was elevated to the title Marquis of Tholozan of Château de Guermantes, which had been held by his of his great-uncle, Ernest René, who died without issue. In 1892, Louise acquired the Château de Blain.[6]
Through his eldest son, he was posthumously a grandfather of Honoré d'Albert de Luynes, 10th Duke of Luynes (1868–1924), who married Simone Louise Laure de Crussol d'Uzes,[10] a daughter of Emmanuel de Crussol, 12th Duke of Uzès and Anne de Rochechouart de Mortemart (who inherited a large fortune from her great-grandmother, Madame Clicquot Ponsardin, founder of Veuve Clicquot).[11][12]
Through his second son, he was posthumously a grandfather of Thérèse d'Albert de Luynes (1876–1941),[13] who married Louis de Crussol d'Uzès, 14th Duke of Uzès (the younger brother of his cousin Honoré's wife),[14][15] and Emmanuel d'Albert de Luynes, Duke of Chaulnes and Picquigny (1878–1908), who married American heiress Theodora Mary Shonts, a daughter of railroad executive Theodore P. Shonts.[16][17][18]
