From Throne To Guillotine: The Last Days Of Queen Marie Antoinette | To Kill A Queen | Real Royalty

[@meggoldnight]

Last year I went to France and visited as many sites to do with Marie Antoinette as I could and took many photos to remember my trip by, but when I visited the conceriege I couldn’t take a single photo, the sadness and horror I felt was too much, it goes to show how much of an atmosphere the place still leaves to this day and leaves in you

[@andyroo9381]

What they did to Queen Marie Antoinette was full of hate, ignorance and cruelty. What they did to the Queen's son, was just so cruel. They treated him worse than a mistreated animal.

[@E.C.2]

Likewise for the entire family,including King Louis XVI. He shouldve consecrated France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus,and placed the Sacred Heart on the Royal French flag. He was more concerned with respecting Man & not our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ. Still,1789 was an unGodly tragedy which still affects the Catholic West in 2023.

[@janeyrevanescence12]

I wonder if she was relieved that it was all over. She had lost everything by that point. Her husband had been executed after a botched escape attempt. Two of her four children were dead. One of her surviving children had been forcibly ripped from her arms, manipulated into saying those horrible things and would later die of malnutrition, sickness and maltreatment. She didn’t know anything about her only surviving daughter. Her kingdom had fallen into anarchy. The man she loved most was forced to leave them behind before he too was ripped apart by the mob. Her birth family was at war with her but unable to get them out. One of the first true friends she had made at Versailles was brutally murdered by a mob, her head chopped off, hair done up, stuck on a pike and paraded in front of her window. Other friends and family members had either fled or were being hunted down. What did she have left to live for at that point?

[@carag2567]

I had all these same thoughts as I watched this. When her sentence was read, I tried to put myself in her shoes and I had a hard time not feeling relieved that it would all be over soon. That was my first and most overwhelming feeling. I hope that's what Marie felt in her final moments. Not terror or fear, but peace and relief in knowing that her pain would be over very soon and very quickly. ❤

No one wants to die unless they are suicidal I'm sure she would have wanted to survive to see her children again I always feel sorry for the children

*Oh how I love the brilliance of the art and fashion of this period. But, you could trust absolutely no one! 🤭*

[@thegildedpagestudio6485]

This documentary equally enlightens yet sickens me! Marie Antoinette did NOT deserve the disgusting treatment she was given, and the fate of Louis XVII, which I know in graphic and heartbreaking detail allows me to say that the current French STATE, if such it can be called, was established upon lies, bastardry and bloodlust. I spit upon Napoleon's face (he destroyed the Chateau de Marly etc), thinking only about his insufferable Narcissism and I equally despise the Revolutionnaires and Communards. Marie had NOTHING to do with the Diamond Necklace affair and if she was driven to inform external agents for the assurance of the French Royal Family (and she was betrayed by Louis XVI's own brother), who on earth could blame her when things went so badly? My eternal sympathy for the Princesse de Lamballe, for Louis XVI and for Marie Antoinette! Perhaps most for their daughter, Marie Therese Duches of Angouleme, who was betrayed by her self-serving uncle, Louis XVI's own brother. So much for sibling loyalty! I spit upon his face too.

[@alexanderv9357]

Спасибо Вам!

[@artemwings1066]

Watching this video made me grow sympathetic to Marie Antoinette she was just a mother, a wife, and a queen whose family was taken away from her, her son was forcefully snatched from her, brainwashed, mistreated, and forced to give false testimony against her mother poor boy, her husband being executed, stripped of her title as queen, shamed, treated like dirt, slandered and judged even after her death. Those pamphlets and even the revolution itself are proof of how much hate and anger can destroy somebody. Even the show trial is just a facade to get rid of her, those heads of the revolutionary government never cared for the people, they only wanted power from themselves, and after her execution, it was still chaotic and they became guillotined

[@MarilynRB]

I'm not sure who was more tragic; Marie Antoinette or Anne Boleyn. Granted, there are some others but the violence in which Marie and Louis faced with their children that hits me. Granted, being beheaded by ones husband is also devastating; however, at least Anne wasn't chased through her home by an angry and a armed mob.

[@christbanner3219]

Anne Boleyn reaped what she tried to sow. She demanded the king execute queen Catherine. This came to haunt her as it undoubtedly put ideas in the king's head. Marie Antoinette never wished death on any "rival".

[@idontgiveafaboutyou]

In my opinion, Marie Antoinette is more tragic

[@annabanana7659]

[@anikethchakraborty3238]

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

​@@christbanner3219 Anne Boleyn didn't want to marry Henry VIII. She was supposed to marry James Butler the Earldom of Ormond. But Henry had Cardinal Wolsey interve because he wanted to her as a mistress. Anne refused & said she'd only sleep with him if she was the Queen. It was such an insane idea that she *NEVER* thought he'd never take her up on it. Anne Boleyn *NEVER* said she wished Catherine of Aragon dead. Nor did she have any of the deformities they say she had. All the negative stories about her character were made up. After her death by people who had an ax to grind against her.

[@saracorda86]

Das tragische Ende der Marie Antoinette. R.I.P 🌹

[@areiaaphrodite]

Unfortunately, I have to very much disagree with this documentary when it said that Marie Antoinette's family did nothing to save her. Marie Antoinette was still close to her sisters Maria Amalia and Maria Carolina. One of the last letters Marie Antoinette sent from prison was to Amalia. Maria Carolina was especially horrified and outraged at the arrest of her sister. She was Queen of Naples and wanted to wage war on France and even joined with British in a coalition against France. She never forgave the French for the execution of her sister and held a grudge until her own death. She even helped the British in their defeat of Napoleon but didn't live to see his ultimate demise before she died from a stroke.

[@skypiev4438]

Interesting, thanks for that information. Because of the Olympics and how they disrespected her head being decapitated and enraging countless people I have been on a Marie Antoinette marathon. So sad what happened to her, especially her children. Her last and only living child married but never had any children herself so in a way Marie went through everything for nothing. Sad sad sad.

[@areiaaphrodite]

@@skypiev4438 100% agree

[@aether3697]

Well, about your last sentence, if one will do some searching(not that I'm proving anyone here, but just adding to the facts), Napoleon wasn't enthusiastic about the death of French King and Queen, neither does he agreed that they're tyrants, quite the opposite, apparently. Napoleon served as artillery man(royal side) during the mob's invasion of Versailles. He he advised the King to wear a revolutionary cap and knew that, a grapeshot would have easily dispersed and rout the mob, to which he sneered to himself after his advices are dismissed.

[@areiaaphrodite]

@@aether3697 Eh, as far as she was concerned, all of France had her sister's blood on their hands, and the blood of anyone who tried to support/save her.

[@tomkins7382]

Wish someone could acquire more French language documentaries around the French Revolution and important figure, and then translate with subtitles for wider consumption on KZbin. There's a real deluge of information on the subject in English, compared to other periods/figures in history.

[@celissewillis9399]

This & a previous documentary makes me feel so sorry for Marie Antoinette. They should've just stripped her of her title & sent her back to her country, or exile, but the way they tried to destroy her, & destroy her son, as a mother, that would be torture enough for me! I know what it's like to be away from my child for an extended period, & to find out that he is being influenced in questionable ways. Yet Marie I feel, had it so much worse, because she was forced to marry into a country that was on the edge of revolution before she got there & the courts had been operating in a very lavish, overtly sexualized way for so long, that it was destroying them from the inside, out. So of course, she comes in as a young teen & just tries to do what everyone else is doing in order to be accepted by the royal court & ultimately ends up being the target of the ultimate forms of hate by people who had a bone to pick, off media stories that were both false misrepresentation or stories that were stretched beyond her true character & I feel like the one guy in the first several minutes said it straight... people WANT to find a target, or a scapegoat, when times are rough. They want there to be SOMEONE to blame & it was easy to target someone who had stories circulating about her that she probably wasn't even aware of how far those stories were going with lies (I can also relate to this), so my heart goes out to the soul of Marie & her son & even Louis. I hope their souls have found peace. .

[@rolandrothwell4840]

Marie antoinette is more sinned against than sinning! She didn't ever fully reconcile herself or the King with the Rights of Man or the new Assembly. She encouraged the King to use his royal veto to frustrate reforms of the moderates. She bore ill will to the most moderate men who wanted a reformed state and constitutional monarchy. This damaged her. In the end, during the Terror, she was a huge heroine of resilience. She was a very kind person portrayed as a profligate harlot by the revolutionaries. They could have banished her.

[@soufienetun8197]

Indeed, she was always manipulated by conservative royalists, mainly, Louis XVI's family. Marie Antoinette was always confined in Versailles. She was not open enough on the French society of her time. Even moderate reformers did not like her political attitude.
