Marie Antoinette Coloring Page

Marie Antoinette was born in Austria, the daughter of an empress. When she was 14 she was sent to France to marry the future King Louis XVI. She lived at the palace of Versailles, where she became known for fancy gowns and tall, powdered hairstyles.

The line “Let them eat cake” is blamed on her, but there’s no proof she ever said it. The saying appears in a book written before she even arrived in France. When the French Revolution came, she and the king were arrested, and she was executed in 1793.
