Well, she had to marry Louis XVI, the crownprince and soon to be King of France, as it was an arranged marriage. There was never any sexual or romantic attraction between them, but they did become good friends eventually. They realized this was their fate. Marie Antoinette is said to have fallen in love with Count Axel von Fersen, aSwedish count. She met him when she was 18 and it was said that eversince they met, they both fell in love. Count Fersen kept coming to court and rumors spread wildly. Until the end of her life they kept in touch. Some of their letters have been preserved and can still be viewed today in the Versailles museum. Though, Fersen burned most of them. His letters to his sister concerning his relationship with a certain "Josephine" (which was his cover-up name for Marie Antoinette) are also preserved. He kept a journal, but until this day, the journal is still with his family and they refuse to publicize it. Fersen never married, he wrote to his sister that the one woman he wanted to marry was not available to him, and that is why he would remain unmarried. It was also rumoured that the second son of Marie Antoinette, the late Louis XVII, was actually his son, but this has never been proven. It has also never been proven that the relationship between Marie Antoinette and Fersen was actually a physical one. Though, the Fersen family keeps his journal secret, as Fersen would have wanted it to.

One can only imagine what would happen if these journals were made public and the whole world might learn that the young dauphin Louis XVII was NOT Louis XVI's son, but Fersen's...

Did Marie Antoinettes children survive the revolution?

Louis XVI and Marie-Antionette had two daughters and two sons. Two of these died before the Revolution. The two royal children alive during the Revolution were Louis the Dauphin, heir to the Throne, and Marie-Therese. Marie-Therese and Louis were separated from their parents when they were imprisoned (both their parents were put on trial and executed). The Dauphin died in prison; it is not clear whether it was a deliberate murder or whether he simply died of illness in the unsanitary conditions of the prison. He was never put on trial. Louis was later known as "Louis XVII" despite the fact that he was never crowned as King. A number of people attempted to impersonate him in later life and claim the French throne. Marie-Therese survived the Revolution and died in 1851.
