VOICE OVER: Emily Brayton WRITTEN BY: Shaina Higgins

Discover the real story behind France's most misunderstood queen. From her arranged marriage at 14 to her tragic end at the guillotine, we explore how Marie Antoinette became a convenient scapegoat for a nation's anger. Was she really just a frivolous party girl, or is there more to her story than cake and couture? Join us as we examine her journey from Austrian princess to French queen, her relationship with Louis XVI, her role in politics, and how history has unfairly painted her legacy. We'll separate fact from fiction and reveal the human being behind the infamous reputation.
