In this our tenth broadcast, we will be discussing the scandals that sadly have become associated wiith Marie-Antoinette's name. I once ran across an article entitled Top 5 Marie-Antoinette Scandals which was filled with errors. What an incredibly misleading portrayal of the Queen! Marie-Antoinette, in spite of being from a generation known for its fast pace of living, did not live in a manner which gave public scandal. There is no evidencefor an affair with Count Fersen. As for diamond necklace fiasco, she was the innocent victim, not the cause. We will not be taking calls today but do email me a question or a comment at emvidal@planetrussell.net.
