Living as Queen
During her rule, Antoinette's childlike innocence soured into prideful indulgence. She befriends Duchess de Polignac who manipulates her to squander the royal fortune on gambling, dresses and expensive balls. She also becomes tired of royal responsibilities, disregarding her Tuesday meetings with the nobles and the representatives of the people. Her life takes a dramatic turn when Axel Von Fersen returns to Versailles. The two of them try to deny their feelings for one another, so the monarchy would not be troubled, but the strain becomes too much for either of them to bear, and thus, they become secret lovers.
