HM Queen Marie-Antoinette never said ”Let them eat cake” or anything close to it. The Queen of France was a pious woman who had nothing to do with the oppression of the poor ; neither can the blame for France‘s troubles be laid at the feet of her husband, HM Louis XVI, King of France. It was Marie-Antoinette’s husband’s great-great-grandmother, the wife of Louis XIV, who said ”Let them eat cake”.
Marie-Antoinette and her royal husband went to the guillotine forgiving their murderers and praising the name of Christ. They were martyred at the hands of the bloody Republic, and deserve better than the shabby treatment their memories have received over the years.
