Antoinette is pregnant at last! But copies of a pornographic pamphlet circulate Versailles depicting Chartres as her lover and father to the unborn child, cuckolding the King.

To prevent the spread of this seditious 'libelle', Louis locks down the château, and Antoinette’s many enemies are questioned. Yolande vies against Lamballe to be closest to the troubled Queen. Show less
