Mary grew up under the protection of her parents, and her character was cultivated to be naive and heartless. When she left Vienna for Versailles, she felt very uncomfortable about life here.
Even though her mother writes to persuade her words and deeds from time to time, she still goes her own way. Ignoring the custom of French mistress, he became bad friends with Comtesse du Barry, the king's mistress.
This makes her reputation as a crown princess ugly. 1774, Louis XV died, leaving a mess for Louis XVI.
Even when she became queen, Mary didn't consciously shoulder the responsibility of the queen, and still lived the life of a crown princess. She has no interest in politics at all, and only cares about how to dress herself every day.
When she successfully completed the task of carrying on the family line, she devoted herself to wigs, curtains, high heels and collecting more diamonds and jewels.
/kloc-in the middle and late period of the 0/8th century, Mary's original feather headdress and sailing headdress became the decorations that the whole upper-class women competed to imitate; At that time, a soft and charming rococo style was popular in France.

Queen Mary became the most dazzling rose in Versailles with her unique fashion sense and avant-garde dress style.
When the ability and environment don't match, withering becomes inevitable.
Compared with the prosperous Palace of Versailles, the life of the French people is in dire straits. There was a drought from 1785 to 1788, and then Louis XVI supported American independence and increased people's taxes. The people's lives are miserable, and the Bourbon dynasty is in jeopardy.
However, Queen Mary was oblivious to all this. She has never set foot in politics, let alone political foresight. When the National Assembly proposed to restrict the king's rights and abolish the feudal system, she could not see the situation clearly and blindly rejected the proposal with her husband.
1785, the "necklace incident" broke out. The cause of this incident was a conspiracy planned by a countess, who used the cardinal to want the queen.

1793 In June, Louis XVI was executed, and in June of the same year 10, Queen Mary was also guillotined. They went to the execution ground nine months apart.
Queen Mary is well protected by her family. Even if you become a queen, it has always been the mentality of your little daughter. She always cares only about her own preferences, but she can completely forget the politics about her life.
When Queen Mary sat in Versailles and lavished money, accepted the flattery of the upper-class ladies and enjoyed the luxurious life in the palace, but ignored the sufferings of the people, it was doomed to a bleak ending. Because these gifts and treatments she enjoys have long been priced by fate.
