Let them eat cake! @_@

Poor little one, you are not desired, but you will be none the less dear to me! A son would have belonged to the state—you will belong to me.

I should have liked to have given you all these as New Year's gifts, but the winter is very hard, there is a crowd of unhappy people who have no bread to eat, no clothes to wear, no wood to make a fire. I have given them all my money; I have none left to buy you presents, so there will be none this year.

Marie-Thérèse Charlotte is the most unhappy person in the world. She can obtain no news of her mother; nor be reunited to her, though she has asked it a thousand times. Live, my good mother! whom I love well, but of whom I can hear no tidings. O my father! watch over me from Heaven above. O my God! forgive those who have made my parents suffer.

This thread is about Marie Therese Charlotte of France, the only member of the royal family to have survived the Reign of Terror. I wonder how she survived. Her life story is pretty interesting. When all things in her life were in chaos, she was able to survive into adulthood and even reached the age of 72.

It must be a nightmare to have lived her life, especially when her earlier years were heavenly being a princess and daughter of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette.
