Watched: Jeanne du Barry last week.

It’s a beautiful watch, but watching the court refuse to acknowledge her is hard to look away from. Louis loved her, but even he couldn’t hold back what was coming. Once he was gone, so was her place in that world.

The Marie Antoinette thread got me too. She refused to speak to Jeanne for years, and when she finally did, it was just one brief exchange.
