Marie-Antoinette (played by Emilia Schüle once again, obvs) is not massively keen on her husband King Louyis XV (James Purefoy) and perhaps more enamored than she should be with Axel von Fersen (Martijn Lakemeier) who has been in America for three years and is now about to return.
Far more pressing, however, are the considerations that, with a cold winter in progress, the people are revolting but not quite as revolting as the court of the Palais-Royal with Provence (Jack Archer) and Chartres (Oscar Lesage) stirring-up ill will. The Diamond Necklace Affair not helping the cause of the Queen.
How does it all end? You’ll have to wait until season 3 but, another *NON-SPOILER*, not well for Marie-Antoinette and the monarchy.
