Let’s hear it
Thanks for the nudge! It's about the Affair of the Diamond Necklace in 1785. A scandal involving Marie Antoinette and a crazy expensive necklace trashed her reputation. Public outrage over it fueled hatred for the monarchy, paving the way for the French Revolution
I am curious to know the story
Pretty wild story! It's about the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, a scandal involving Marie Antoinette. She was falsely accused of defrauding jewelers over a crazy expensive necklace. Really hurt her rep and fueled anger against the monarchy before the Revolution
