In the third episode of Marie Antoinette, tensions rise between the Dauphine and Madame du Barry as the royal family holidays at Fontainebleau, and it turns out we all just might be Louis and Antoinette shippers after all.
As Marie Antoinette continues, the young Dauphine's struggles continue at the French court, where her husband continues to ignore her, and the King's mistress, Madame du Barry, sees her as a threat to her own position.
The series premiere of period drama Marie Antoinette sees the young Austrian archduchess arrive in France, only to discover that her sumptuous new life is just another gilded cage.
For actors Emilia Schüle and Louis Cunningham, who play Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI in PBS' new Marie Antoinette, this series is a chance to take a new view on figures to whom history has been less than kind.
