If ever a woman with no power no influence was given a bum rap by history - it was Marie Antoinette.She’s History’s Greatest Monster!
Do you see now why the UN intervened???
This song would cause debate, disagreement, disputes leading possibly to conflagrations, attacks and war, and further UN intervention???
They were just trying to maintain the peace.

The UN is all in favor of despotism.

I think she actually DID say something like “Let them eat cake,” but it didn’t mean what people think it means.
Cheap bread was price controlled in Paris, and, if the bakers ran out, they had to sell more expensive items, like cake, at the same price as the cheap bread. Hence “Let them eat cake.”

There is no evidence that she ever said it - and reports of it being said in France were first written (in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions) when she was nine years old on still living in Austria.
100 years before her it was reputedly said by Marie-Thérèse, the wife of Louis XIV; and this was most likely the “great princess” that Rousseau was making reference to.
Whatever the translation of the french - nothing of the kind was reportedly said by Marie Antoinette during her lifetime - even by the French Revolution (mia culpa) which had every reason to demonize her.
The misattribution of the quote is apparently a modern invention based upon Rousseau's comment and an anachronistic understanding that the “great princess” was her, rather than Marie-Thérèse.

To: allmendream
I can see why the French Revolution needed to make her out to be everything she was not - but do we still need to buy their propaganda. She was of the 1%, the rabble 99%... Some things never change, off with her head!
Sigh...
