Marie Antoinette was "Helena CRS" (based on the 400-marker test). According to these articles by Jehaes et al, European Journal of Human Genetics, vol6 pp383-395 (1998) and vol9, pp185-190, (2001), the extended sequence is: HVR1 T16519C; HVR2 T152C, C194T, A263G and N315.1C. Her female ancestry can be traced back to Bertha von Putelendorf, d 1190.



As can be seen in “sources”, Marie Antoinette, Queen Consort of France, never said “Let them eat cake”, when referring to the starving mob gathering in Paris. That phrase appeared 80 years after her death and was attributed to a princess, not naming her directly.
