1:16

have you a long time ago. You

1:18

know I don't disagree at all. Good

1:21

anime. Yeah, we've kind of been through

1:23

it all. You know? we have. Yeah,

1:25

Harkin cars for celebrity? These guys living

1:28

together? Yes, having arguments about how to

1:30

correctly or who turned magnets upside down?

1:35

Yeah, real serious stuff. Yeah, yeah. We

1:37

get into the nitty gritty. And

1:40

here's something else I think our

1:42

listeners should about us, we live

1:44

and breathe rom coms literally Idyllic.

1:46

That's one of the times where

1:48

I didn't completely serious a out

1:50

and we also love the doe

1:52

eyed cousin of the rom com

1:54

the Princess movie. but these stories

1:56

always and after the Princess Mary's

1:58

the Prince and allegedly. Happily ever

2:00

after. Like we never see the part where

2:02

they get into a screaming match about whose

2:05

turn it is to clean the most you

2:07

know, jets and honestly I need to see

2:09

that media. You can really tell where the

2:11

love is. When you see two people

2:13

say south. Are all jokes

2:15

aside, real life is hard. And

2:18

ensure you get to where tiara. But.

2:20

You can also get that fails. Or.

2:23

Be headed for right? And we're

2:25

not talking Disney movies like so

2:27

real Life Uncensored version is usually

2:29

more like. Game of Thrones made the

2:31

Under Pump rules. Oh what a great ass

2:33

up and that brings us the why we're

2:35

here for Can I have so much fun

2:37

pulling back the curtain on the world's biggest.

2:40

Celebrities and family dynasties over and even the

2:42

rich that we wanted to do the same

2:44

on. A cell all about Royal. So

2:47

and this new series will be sharing stories

2:49

about some Royals you may have heard of

2:51

and some you likely have. no. So.

2:54

Broke. Speaking of someone everyone

2:57

knows of. But most people

2:59

don't actually really know. When

3:01

I say Marie Antoinette, where does your

3:03

mind though? Listen. I know what

3:06

most people would say, but here's the

3:08

thing. Yeah, we auditioned for even the

3:10

right. They asked us

3:12

what a lot royals were and you said

3:14

Marie Antoinette and you're like she didn't actually

3:16

say let them eat cake and I've never

3:19

forgotten it. Oh My. God. This is. Really

3:22

hit me in the field of as you

3:24

know. Whilst he was. A. Weird

3:26

wearing fashion icon of our time who

3:28

ended up getting be headed the truth

3:30

a very sorry and was she was

3:32

killed his Way more complicated than Kate.

3:35

Like what if I told you

3:37

all of this was because of

3:39

a really bad pr that she

3:42

was basically the victim of a

3:44

total bogus propaganda campaign with pornographic

3:46

cartoons? Okay, well, I know nothing

3:49

and. I'm now on board. Yeah this

3:51

story truly while of at that's just the

3:53

beginning. I mean if you think a bunch

3:55

of nude pictures as bad, grab those pearls

3:58

the pledge for when you. Ultimately

4:00

accused of honestly it's almost too starting

4:03

to believe and okay so this is

4:05

the story that so it's have rumors

4:07

the can get you killed. Your.

4:10

Eddie Brock l am so ready. It's

4:17

October seventeen, eighty Three in Paris.

4:19

Queen Marie Antoinette of France is right

4:22

in the back of an open wagon.

4:24

Her hand are bound and her one

4:26

sided affair has been hacked off. She's

4:29

meat consumption by a

4:31

cheapo manages straight. She

4:34

tells her outfit carefully.

4:36

Today or fifteen. Morning Draft

4:38

and had a cold and bought. All

4:41

while she's determined to carry herself

4:43

with a clean and not like

4:45

a criminal. How pulling on concept

4:47

was I'm sure you can sit

4:49

on her way of to see

4:51

them for high and I thought

4:53

I did have a feeling they

4:55

that hacking yeah. So

4:58

a huge crowd gathered in the past

5:00

them a rather listen to hurl insults

5:02

that murray it. While most of these

5:04

insults or about house is a traitor

5:06

and a Soviet marine want to yell

5:09

back at them. But the people

5:11

didn't listen summary during her trial. So

5:13

why. Would they now entered

5:15

of her aside from of

5:17

fancy things that have had.

5:20

An upscale form for her summit when she

5:22

wonders if her children will remember her as

5:24

a zillion to. Finally

5:28

arrives at the center of the

5:30

says her eyes suit up to

5:32

assert ceremony. Ecstasy centers in. The

5:34

key is he awaits. It's only

5:36

a few sets. Sympathy for Murray's

5:38

mine is all the a thousand.

5:41

She shrugs off the soldier who's leading

5:43

her to the stairway she doesn't need

5:45

or want his health. she's

5:48

doing this alone or with each

5:50

step up hope he thought she

5:52

reaches that half of the platform

5:54

and fair defiantly into the executioner's

5:57

i'd he pushes or forward and

5:59

since her head onto the chopping block.

6:02

She catches one last glimpse of the

6:04

blade dangling overhead. She

6:07

can't believe it's come to this. When

6:09

she first came from Austria and was introduced

6:11

as the future Queen of France, people

6:14

cheered her in the streets. They

6:16

saw her as a force of change. What

6:18

did she do to make them turn against her

6:21

so dramatically? How could they

6:23

swing so violently from love to hate?

6:25

She still can't fully understand it. Collars

6:30

close around her neck and her

6:32

thoughts swirl. Was there something

6:34

she could have done differently? Could

6:36

she have listened more? Thought harder?

6:40

Maybe people would have loved her if she'd acted

6:42

like someone else. Someone

6:44

less foreign, less independent,

6:47

less Marie Antoinette-like. Or

6:50

maybe not. Maybe because she

6:52

was a strong woman in a world

6:54

run by men, she was

6:57

always doomed to

6:59

a fate like this.
