When the two royal heirs were married, Louis was fifteen and Marie was fourteen, making them one year apart.
Marie Antoinette did not have much influence over Louis XVI. However, she did play a large role in his deciding to try and flee the country (Flight to Varennes).
Marie Antoinette grossed $60,862,471 worldwide.
Peasants of the French Revolution were angry at Marie Antoinette because they felt she controlled Louis - the current king - and that she had too much of a say in the welfare and running of the country. She was easy to hate, after all she had been born an Austrian.
The First Estate was the clergy, about 1% of the population. The Second Estate was the nobility, about 2% of the population. The Third Estate was everyone else, about 97% of the population. King Louis XIV, King Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette drained the French Treasury. The French gave too much financial aid to the American Colonists in their fight for independence from England. King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette spent lavishly, thinking the Third Estate would foot the bill by paying higher taxes.
She is said to be buried in the necropolis of French Kings at St. Denis Basilica (a big and beautiful cathedral in Paris) along with her husband Louis XVI of France. This is the cathedral were all French Kings and their family used to be buried Though, during the French revolution an angry mob trashed the cathedral actually opening the graves and throwing the deceased out of their graves. It was restored though, but it was never quite certain of course if the correct body parts had been put back in their righteous coffins... When Marie Antoinette was beheaded, her body was thrown in an unmarked grave in the former La Madeleine cemetery (closed the following year). Both her body and that of Louis XVI were exhumed on 18 January 1815, during the Bourbon Restoration, when the comte de Provence had become King Louis XVIII. Proper Christian burial of the royal remains took place three days later, on 21 January. At least, so it is said. In those days there wasn't something called DNA-testing and Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI had been thrown into a mass grave. During the digging in that grave, a witness says he recognized an upperleg-bone with a suspender on it and said it was definitely Marie Antoinette's. The body of Louis XVI was recognized by the shape of the skull. These remains are now buried at the St Denis. Thus, it is highly unlikely that it is actually Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI that are buried there. It is much more probable that they are still somewhere underground

None whatsoever. Queens don't.
No, Marie Antoinette did not spoil her kids. Although she loved them very much, it was said that during one Christmas, she would not let them accept gifts, and instead, would donate them to the poor.

Marie Antoinette was beheaded. The french no longer wanted a king and queen. I'm french, but personally I can't agree with the french. They shouldn't have killed them. If they wanted to get rid of them, they should have done something else. Marie Antoinette was beheaded. The french no longer wanted a king and queen.

He gave her the Petit Trianon. It was a house that Louis XV had ordered the built for. He had meant it as a pleasure house and wanted to give it to his mistress Madame du Pompadour, but she died before it was ready. After that, he met his other mistress Madame du Barry there often. The little house looked slightly like the Schonbrunn palace in Vienna where Marie Antoinette had grown up, and several people sarcastically called it "Little Vienna). Marie Antoinette loved the house very much and spent a lot of time there, away from her restricted life at court with all its etiquette and prying eyes.
