The irony is that Antoinette hated public eating so much that she would mostly eat privately and preferred simple foods like chicken broth to the extravagant dishes of the court. She did love chocolate, though, and would enjoy the odd sweet during public meals.

[@pedrourbano501]

My little theory as towhy she preferred the simpler foods is becuse she could eat them faster to get out of that situation.

[@darianrose2195]

@@pedrourbano501 But she ate those foods privately. I think her childhood lended her taste for simple foods. The Imperial Family in Austria were keen to maintain a private life. So, growing up she attended banquets and state occasions but she also enjoyed family time in the family's private apartments. Something the French would never dream of, so for her to find herself on display every moment of every day must have been very hard and she rebelled in whatever ways she could, like taking the majority of meals in her rooms which were always filled with people but it must have been somewhat better than sitting at a table with the whole court staring at her. It's little wonder when she was given the Petit Trianon that she threw so much of her attention into it because not only was she going to create a haven but would spend time there and no one could come unless she invited them. Wanting to be alone is a basic human desire but the court were extremely rigid and public so her natural rebellion only made them hate her more.

To those who dont understand why this was in the first place. A previous french king ( Louis the Great) created the system so as he had a way of keep a close eye and control of his nobles by taking them from their estates and armies and making them wait on him. Thus he could dispense favours and patronage to those that did and deprive those who didnt, so as concentrating his power

[@jenniferlazowski781]

It also robbed other nobles of their money, as they would put forth expenses to seem more important. This system was also used in Russia

[@rosskourtis9602]

The ironic thing about Versailles is that, in the reign of Louis XIV, it saved France from plunging into another civil war. From a young age, King Louis developed a great hatred for the aristocracy, largely on account of their rebelliousness. In creating Versailles, he was able to keep all the aristocrats in one place and thus control them. All the ceremonies (like the one above) may seem absurd to contemporary eyes, but they were key to diverting the attention of the nobles away from political schemes that would threaten the King's authority. The problem with Versailles came after the reign of the Sun King. While I cannot be exactly sure, I do not think Louis XV or XVI understood what the palace's real political function was. Instead of using it to control the aristocracy, they saw the perpetuation of its formalities as valuable purely because those formalities were established by their great ancestor. In addition to this, both Louis XV and XVI lacked their predecessor's resolution; put simply, Louis XIV was perfectly happy to tell his aristocrats to "get lost", while his successors were quite unoffending. As a consequence these two factors, the nobles were able to use the isolation that Versailles gave them to combat the King's attempts at reform through the use of pressure and manipulation, a fact which would lead to the revolution. In essence, Versailles went from being a gilded prison for the nobles to a prison for the King.

The Dauphin probably had ADHD or ADD. I remember being 15 and being absolutely useless when it came to talking to women.
