  • Marguerite Alibert’s story is one of gritty survival followed by a lucrative life of sex work. Alibert was a formidable woman who pulled herself up from a world of poverty to mingle among France’s elite, accomplishing her goal of turning affairs into large sums of money in the process.
    Marguerite is also commonly remembered as Maggie Meller, a surname she took from the man she claimed was her husband at 17. Meller was one of four different surnames she would use throughout her exotic and exciting life.

      A Little Mia, if you do enjoy this kind of material, I suggest you do as samm skeleton suggested and give Obsolete Oddity a try. His research and artistry are excellent, and while some of the same stories are inevitably covered by multiple content creators, he has never appropriated anyone else’s hard work and put his name to it. There is certainly room for multiple channels covering similar stories, and I applaud their efforts...IF what they produce is their own original work. 🖤🇨🇦

    I think she was a victim of society and she fought back and won even getting her daughter whom she clearly cared about since she wanted her back. She had to play dirty to get her back, and have money to take good care of her daughter. We don't know what caused her to shoot the prince but clearly there had to be a reason.

      Yup!! Look at what the Royals did to Princess Diana and company were killed. Oh? Yeah, it was a 'car crash' in a tunnel where NO CAMMARS worked that night and after the Royals had, had Diana's car for three days putting a tracking divice on it. Amazing how it took forever for an ambulance to show up at the tunnel when the hospital was 10 min away. Also that it took almost 2 hrs to get to the hospital and then the 'ambulance' parked across the street from the hospital...no one going out or coming into the ambulance and THEN they bring in the now dead Princess Diana.
      The back seatbelts in her car were also disabled...You can clearly see Diana turned around looking at the car behind them (The cammras WERE working that night in the tunnel, where'd that picture come from if they HADDN'T BEEN WORKING?) who probably did a pit maneuver which crashed the car & the Royals ordered the car cut up to cover the fact up that the car was not badly damaged.
      In the Queen's in courthouse the ruleing was a 'car accident'. They blamed it all on the poor press who were way back BEHIND & not near the car went it entered the tunnel. Diana also stated that the Royals were planning to kill her and would use a car to do it.
      Those are the facts.
      Yup!! Step on the wrong toes...if you do don't go to Paris or in tunnels.😎

      Who knows the Prince may not have wanted her harmed even under the circumstances. Sometimes the feelings you get when younger can stick with you leaving a soft spot for certain people. I am not friends with my ex, I probably wouldn't even wave at him if I saw him on the street but would I want him murdered? No.
