ShortHand: Marie Antoinette
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE
Fashion icon; teenage rebel; sex-crazed adulterer; clueless royal: the legend of Marie Antoinette had a life of its own. For years before she was dragged out the palace by her hair and decapitated by guillotine, Revolution-era France considered her as the absolute image of lavish, wasteful opulence and hedonism.
So… was she? We shoot back to the super-stratified social world of 18th-century Versailles, dive into her Rococo-laced world, and take a look at the private life of one of history’s most notorious figures.
