Marie Antoinette

Louis may be King, but Marie-Antoinette is determined to inaugurate her reign as Queen of France. First step: organize a sumptuous inauguration ball, and convince Louis to choose the pro-Austrian candidate whom she defends as Prime Minister. When Louis refuses to let his Austrian wife get involved in French politics, a chill sets in in their marriage.

Against all expectations, it is Joseph, Marie-Antoinette's brother, who goes to Versailles to save the royal wedding. It doesn't take long for him to realize that he has his work cut out for him if he wants to unite this struggling couple. Time is running out to save the Franco-Austrian alliance.

Marie-Antoinette is finally pregnant! But his reputation is attacked when pornographic pamphlets spread to the Court of Versailles, challenging the legitimacy of the unborn child. Louis locks the castle and demands a thorough investigation in order to unmask the plotting traitors.

Louis gains confidence in his role as King. He now supports the American Revolutionary War. Marie-Antoinette spent her time at the Petit Trianon where she fell in love with a familiar face: Count Axel von Fersen.
