According to lore, when she was about to address her people from her balcony, an aide mentioned to her that it would likely be a tough crowd, as they hadn't seen bread for weeks.

There was also a law in force that required a baker to sell cake at bread prices if he ran out of bread first.

She was hardly an unfeeling aristocrat. She and the King contributed from their own personal funds for famine relief. You won't catch any of todays Democrat royalty doing anything like that. They're all about using OUR money while they keep theirs.

I agree, she was an egregious statistic of leftist rat media attacks.

Poor thing. But a great example of the leftist’s power in print.

Take a good thing and make it into a monster for rating$.
