My girl Marie Antoinette apparently never said that…and if she did, she told them to eat brioche

[frejasface]

I thought it was custard.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau said a princess said it in his book 'Confessions', which came out when she was still a kid. So yeah, she never said it.

Also, bro wrote a whole book on pedagogy only to abandon all of his kids to orphanages, so calling his autobiography 'Confessions' was quite the under-sell.

Yeah apparently it’s also been attributed to a German noblewoman from the 16th century

also, she was soooo insulated from life outside any palace, she literally had no clue how the poor lived.

She did though: "Marie-Antoinette taught her daughter Madame Royale to wait upon peasant children, to sacrifice her Christmas gifts so as to buy fuel and blankets for the destitute, and to bring baskets of food to the sick. Antoinette started a home for unwed mothers at the royal palace of Versailles. She adopted three poor children to be raised with her own, as well as overseeing the upbringing of several needy children, whose education she paid for, while caring for their families. She brought several peasant families to live on her farm at Trianon, building cottages for them. There was food for the hungry distributed every day at Versailles, at the King’s command

Do you have info on what would a poor child do with a royal child's education? Did they go into religious roles or to universities?
