Who is reported to have said let them eat cake?

Answer 1

No, she never said that. it's possible that another queen of France said that but its not a definite. Marie Antoinette actually gave lots to charity.
no, a noble woman said ''let them eat cake''

Answer 2

This quotation is popularly attributed to Marie Antoinette, the wife of King Louis XVI and the last Queen of France. In response to the news that the French peasants had no bread and were starving, she allegedly said, "let them eat cake."

However, she never actually said that. Even though the quotation is attributed to her, it was actually spoken a century before by Marie-Therese, wife of Louis XIV.

Answer 3

I myself dont think she actually said it. They say she uttered the insensitive remark upon hearing peasants' complaints that there wasn't enough bread to go around and simply said they should eat cake instead of bread.

Answer 4

les paysans n'avaient pas de pain, et qui répondit : Qu'ils mangent de la brioche

"The peasants have no bread," and she responded, "Let them eat brioche (cake)"

This quote is often missattributed to Marie Antoinette, the queen of France.

She didn't say it. The quote came from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the left-wing philosopher of the Enlightenment, and he never said the queen of France said it, just a great princess. Many historians believe he invented the phrase to make an allegory against the monarchs.

Answer 5

ha ha, do not be fooled friend. "Let them eat cake" was just a rumour, in fact it is most likely that Marie Antoinette said nothing like that at all. "Let them eat cake" was supposedly Marie Antoinette's response when she heard about the bread shortages in France. When she said that she meant some like "if there's no bread, then let them eat cake!". This rumour was made because Marie Antoinette was oblivious to the struggles of the average French citizens outside the lavish gates of Versailles.

Answer 6

Apparently, Marie Antoinette said this during the French Revolution, however it's a myth. She probably didn't say that.

Answer 7

Marie Antoinette, the last French queen. However, to have said that, she'd have to know enough about the French people to know that they were starving.

Answer 8

The entire French working classes every where
