BBC will air its new drama Marie Antoinette tonight.
Marie Antoinette tells the story of the modern and avant-garde young queen who was barely 14 years old when she left Austria to marry the Dauphin of France.
She must produce a Bourbon heir to secure the alliance between France and Austria, but she is as unprepared for her job as her awkward teenage husband. With Louis still not consummating the marriage after four months, Marie realises that producing an heir will not be straightforward.
