documentary on louise the XVI and his wife marie antoinette

the really bad sex life (and reign) of marie antoinette & louis XVI

she was no angel but like her husband louis the XVI she wanted more equality, and for the rich to pay their fair share of taxes – that never happened.

when they told the french king “the people have no bread to eat”, marie antoinette famously said “let them eat cake” …which is untrue ….and this she never did say. but like today, the press of the time and the rich oligarchs who ran them, made every half-decent person the enemy of the people…

the king and her young wife met their end, with the unfortunate guillotine, after being hated by the elite and the oligarchs and then the people who blamed them for their inadequacies…

“when louis XVI and marie antoinette took the helm of france’s monarchy, versailles had been the home to the most powerful family in europe for over a century. a place of artistic brilliance, lavish entertainment, passionate love affairs, and outrageous scandals. but while a lucky few danced, feasted, and flirted their days away, the state was on the brink of collapse. now Louis XVI and his wife marie antoinette would face the biggest challenge in the history of their illustrious family.” good documentary worth a watch, with many parallels to what is going on today…by pp
