As his wife, she will be called Marie Antoinette, and will be the highest princess of France. Upon the death of the King, she will become Queen Marie Antoinette. But she dreads both new roles.

    The Royal Diaries series is very cute, written as though from the perspectives of women and girls from history that were royal. This diary tells the story of Marie Antoinette before she became the French Queen.
    Great for ages 9-12, or even a bit older if intereted in the subject matter.

    This Book Was And Is The Best

    I really liked this book, because it has history mixed in with fiction, along with all the other The royal Diaries books! I would recomend this book because it is long (which is very good for me) and it has french culture in it, and it is about royals, if anyone is a royal history fanatic like me! It also has a great point of veiew of the French Civil war on what led to it! I would also recomend this to students studying to French Civil War!

    four

    I only gave this book a 4 because it was a little dull. There was good description in it, when it came to her dresses. There shouldn't have so many French words. That got a little confusing. Still, it deserves a 4.

    Better than I EVER imagined

    I thought that Marie Antoinette would be all prissy and girlie, but the book painted another picture of her. A more real and in depth look at the Princess of Versailles.

    I thought this book was amazing. I just read it and I can't wait to read the other ones. I could barely put it down it was so good. I recommend anyone who is interested about what life was like for royalty a long time ago to read this book.

    I love this book! If it were up to me, I would be in this book! I can't believe people would charge admission to see people taken away like the guillotine! I suggest this book to anyone with the ability to read!

    Fantastic Diary! Like the other two royal diaries that I have read, this one has happy, funny and sad moments. I do wish that Marie Antoinette didn`t have such a nosy mum though! I found it shocking to know that when she was executed by the guillotine, people were happy!
