Explore the Captivating Life of Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette is one of history's most celebrated queens thanks to her style and confidence, yet generally she is perceived as a greedy and selfish mistress of France.

Born into a life of pure luxury as a Princess of Austria, Marie was very young when she was shipped abroad to await her turn as the Queen of France. She was forced all at once to come to terms with a foreign language, a different culture, and a court full of gossipy nobles who pounced at the first sign of weakness.

Despite popular belief, Marie Antoinette was not entirely obsessed with pretty dresses and towering hairstyles--though she wouldn't quite have been the same without them.
