Description

From the palaces of Austria to the mirrored halls of Versailles Marie Antoinette led an extraordinary life. She was born into royalty in 1755 and married the future king of France at the young age of 15. At just 21, she became the queen and embraced a luxurious lifestyle filled with extravagant parties, towering hairstyles, and indulgent feasts. However, her excessive habits and spending caused resentment among the French people, who blamed her for their poverty. In fact, her extravagant ways contributed to the eruption of the French Revolution. Eventually, in 1793, she faced the ultimate consequence for her actions and was executed. The question of whether she was truly to blame or not remains a subject of debate. Nevertheless, Marie Antoinette’s story continues to be a significant part of history and popular culture.
