Due to the French Revolution. The third estate (the bourgeoisie) wanted to rid France of the Monarchical system (thus, King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette). To do so, they had to make sure that the Royals knew this third estate was an enemy to be reckoned with. They eventually imprisoned the Royal family to let them and the rest of the world see that the people had won it from their monarchs.

Simply, she was a monarch and a symbol of what was wrong with France before the revolution. She did send messages informing Austria of France's military strategy during Austria's war with France, but they didn't know it at the time.

But they arrested all the Bourbons, at least the ones who didn't flee.
