This article goes over a few events and myths about Marie Antoinette. Most myths start right when she becomes queen. The myth I did not know about which the accusation of the 600-diamond necklace it was rumored around in 1785. This was known as The Diamond Necklace Affair. She had accidently ordered this necklace, and it showed up on a merchant boat and was given straight top the palace. The only issue with this was she was apparently using money from the monarchy to buy it. The money was used for the people of France, and she was seen as using it for personal use.
