Marie Antoinette, as queen consort of France, faced growing unpopularity due to accusations of excessive spending, promiscuity, illegitimacy, and sympathies for France’s enemies. Her involvement in the Affair of the Diamond Necklace harmed her reputation. During the French Revolution, she earned the nickname Madame Déficit for her extravagant lifestyle and opposition to reforms. Her image was further damaged by events like the failed flight to Varennes and the War of the First Coalition. Ultimately, she was imprisoned, tried for high treason, and guillotined in 1793.
