Hello and welcome to the final episode of our series on Mary Antoinette. We left you in the last

episode with Marie Antoinette devastated by the execution of her husband, Louis XVI, who had been King of France.

After a disastrous escape bid, life has taken an increasingly sinister turn for the royal family.

Fleeing a bloodthirsty mob, they've thrown themselves on the mercy of the revolutionary government,

and this is not a time of mercy.

The monarchy has been abolished,

the king tried and executed.

He leaves behind his queen

the most hated women in France.

So what now for Marie Antoinette and her children?

The Monty. children. From Wondery and Goldhanger, I'm Peter Frankapern.

I'm Afwa-Hash.

And this is Legacy, the show that tells the lives

of the most extraordinary men and women

ever to have lived

and asks if they have the reputation

that they deserve.

This is Mary Antoinette, episode four, the grim finale.

She no longer had any hope left in her heart or distinguished between life and death.

Those are the words of Marie-Tarese, Mario Antoinette's 14-year-old daughter,

describing her mother in the days after the execution of her father.

Marianne Twanette at this point is eating little and she rarely speaks.
