You probably know that Marie Antoinette never said let the meet cake. But here's something she did say. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. As she was led to the guillotine, Marie Antoinette accidentally stepped on her executioner's foot. Those were her last words. The world is full of ill fated love affairs, bad decisions, and family drama. But for a monarch, the personal will determine the fate of nations. When you're wearing a crown, mistakes tend to mean blood.
I'm Dani Schwartz and I'm the host of Noble Blood, a new podcast from my Heart Radio and Aaron Manky. Each episode focuses on a single story from the life of one of history's most fascinating royals, from Marie Antoinette during her final days, to the cockney butcher who had the world convinced that he might be a long missing baronet, the tragic, the insane, the murder, the murderers, and everyone
in between. Noble Blood premieres on July nine. Listen and subscribe at Apple Podcasts or on the I Heart Radio app, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
