@@EvelynEdwards thank you
Imagine being in such great pain and being watched by thousands and in middle of extreme noise
That’s unfair
Insanity
Witnesses must also be in the room when they consummate their marriage 😮
@@tomato8888someone is getting punched in that event. I cant even imagine that shit. What is wrong with people. That is so weirdly intrusive.
Unfair?! It's HELL.
YEAH AND THE FARTS
How horrific. Labor is such an intimate thing and to have no privacy. It’s sad.
Back then you'd have grown up with the idea making it less intimate
Modern day “influencers” voluntarily document it and share it on the internet these days.
@@katiedawson7865Well, there's having a few people around, but then there's THIS. Here you are in this future museum surrounded by a bunch of gossipy people looking to benefit or shame you, and they are all of no help and only making a hard day worse. Today they'd be eating popcorn and checking their phones. 😢
So is breastfeeding. Yet some women actually argue for the right to do it randomly in public.
@dmoore8595 Well, to be fair, the baby kind of takes on most of the work at that point, and it's ALL THE TIME. Mom wants and has to to leave the house once in a while, and by then everyone seemingly has had a look at every bit of her, even if not a royal, she is usually completely exhausted and there's other stuff that needs to get done. Marie Antoinette at least would have had a wet nurse. 😆😆
The amount of people on the room probably made it hotter and harder to breathe 🤦🏻♀️
Absolutely!
iirc she passed out multiple times
@@chubbydinosaur9148Oh my 😢
Not to mention the increased infection risk...for her and the baby
Unbathed people at that
Sounds like living with 1000 intrusive entitled aunties. Absolute living hell that no amount of pretty wallpaper could rectify
😂😂😂😂😂
The entitled aunties!! And mothers in law!! 😂😂😂😂😂
@@thatexcalifornian6124And grandmothers who think they’re more important than the other set! My sister in law had mama blocked from calling the nursery to check on my niece and nephew when they were born. She’s never forgotten that. My mamow never felt welcome in her house either. They’re going to be 19 this year so she’s getting Karma.
Sad.
There were entitled uncles there too though
I really feel sorry for her. Yes she had money, but she had a very sad life. She lived in a tiny sheltered bubble where everything she did was picked apart and judged. She was a literal child bride who just wanted to be a mom to her kids.
All the yesses to this. She didn’t choose who she was born to. …and the amount of things that people think are factual about her life that ARE NOT is shocking to me. Ie- she did not EVER say “let them eat cake”. Didn’t happen. Full stop.
@@EvelynEdwardsnot only that but she was very sympathetic to the underclass.
@@atmodlee yesssssssssss!
I have read she had a farm house built for her with chicken and goats where she loved to fantasize being a simple
Peasant lady. It shows volumes about what she was going through.
@@divyapari9164people try to use that as reason to say why she was actually very stuckup and wanted to make being a poor farmer an "aesthetic," but honestly, I feel like it was just her silently admitting to not really wanting to be royalty. She may not have understood the harsh specifics of being a farmer, as she'd never grown up like that, but that doesn't make her wish to be one any less valid
I always found this particularly sad because Louis had a condition that meant intercourse was painful so he was uninterested for years until he was able to get it fixed. Yet Marie was blamed for it, saying she was unappealing, infertile ect.
It wasnt even her fault yet she received all the disparagement and shame.
Yes! Phimosis. He eventually had a surgery for it. Marie Antoinette has had so many negative beliefs put on her, but during her day and after her death.
I'd never heard of him having a condition, so thank you for sharing this. I knew he wasn't fond of sex. Now I know why.
Women it seems were always getting blamed for stuff that wasn’t her fault
@@Thundercloud25they still are !!!!! ✌️🙏
That's a myth, don't believe it. He had no such condition. They didn't sleep together because they probably were normal teenagers who couldn't find attraction towards each other at such a young age and knew what sex was solely from theory. It probably took them years because they gradually warmed up to one another and matured. One thing that indicates that this is true is the fact that neither Louis nor Marie took any lover despite their ancestors having soo many. People are so used to perversion even nowadays that they can't understand people who choose to be virgins or are not eager to sleep with someone they don't love as a person.
even a queen was disrespected during child birth, it really can't get any better can it.
Both her and Louis were basically children. It’s really kind of sad how they were treated
Agree!
How old were they? Where they forced together please could you expand a little? Thanks x
@@lizziewalsh275 they were 14 and 15. Their marriage was a political alliance. They had absolutely no say in the matter.
@@EvelynEdwards
Yikes😢😢😢
Us as women need to be more grateful for the timeline we're living in. Because immediately no 😢
How disgusting and unsafe. Both mother and child were exposed to everything. Like a breeding animal, she was treated worse in this situation.
That was absolutely a what queen’s job was considered to be. Siring male heirs.
No animal should be treated like this. You just acknowledged specieism. Now go vegan!
@@starscreamofvos 🔥👍🏼
@@starscreamofvos Veganism and child birth are two different things wtf? Putting a mother (animal or not) under stress in childbirth is a no-no in all scenarios unless the farm is a highly unethical farm.
Can you imagine living in such splendor? But having a child in front of the people of court would be awful. They had such a sad ending.
It's why we have pain meds today. Unfortunately, Fortunately
It was actually super gross in versailles. There were no actual toliets, people peed & pooped whereever they could when they couldn't find a chamber pot fast enough- so did their pets. People smoked, drank, and rarely bathed or brushed their teeth. Everyone had lice under their wigs. For as gorgeous & fancy as it was it was also known to be nasty AF.
Her whole life was like a gilded cage unfortunately. There was a lot of splendor, but she was also married off as a teenager to a man already in love and wanting nothing to do with her, wasn't allowed any reminders of her homeland, and wasn't allowed any education on how to run a country. She was set up to fail from the beginning. 😔 Only reason her husband even slept with her was because his mistress talked him into it so there would be an heir.
It was the end of their own doing. Ignoring the hardships of working people and not changing fast enough with rapidly changing times is what caused their demise. You can’t tell to a hungry man to eat cake when all he is asking for is bread.
@@izzy4575 That's the thing though, the world back then was definitely messed up and all but women in nobility had little more say in their lives than the impoverished. They had clothes and food, but no freedom. They were forced to be baby factories essentially. And the quote, "Let them eat cake" was attributed to whatever women the masses hated at the time. 5 other women before Marie Antoinette were supposed to have said it. It was merely post-war anti-noblewomen propaganda. America has more responsibility for the fall of the French nobility than the French queen.
Just unbelievable what women have had to go through
The royal women*
*minority of women and men
Womp womp
@@allergictohumansnotanimals5671you say that but if you had to go through this shit you’d feel the same. You just lack empathy. Thats fine I guess.
@@G_Singh222 They are still women and men. So you are not contradicting OP's initial statement.
What they did to women.
Still do 😢
no they dont if you actually think that you need to wake up we have more rights now then we have ever had appreciate it@@Kwazz_
unless your one of those people who are always a victim.......and cant see the access to everything you have if you work hard for it education is your super power in the world today women then only obtained an education if they could afford to which werent many and with permission from their fathers@@Kwazz_
There was other women among the crowd. Most likely a lot of them.
nope men and women watched @@allergicTOsunhats
On top of that, she was still a child herself. She was incredibly young
Yes. 💚
She was 22. But she got married at 14
What's so sad is that not only the public observed her give birth.
Probably the same individuals watched her loose her head in a public execution as well.
@@OlliearoyaL29stp a very interesting comment! Yes! Absolutely!!
Could you imagine giving birth with a crowd of people just watching like your a spectacle in anatomy class???
It is not unheard of these days either... less people than this, since a "regular birth" is not THAT interesting, but that people have been blindsided with random amounts of students walking in during birth, IUD, papsmears and similar? It happens more often than it is openly spoken about.
My mum had me in front of a large audience of medical students. This is because she had to have an old style C- section due to where the placenta was. She thought it was funny though, and loved to joke about how I was born on a stage! Certainly very different from what Marie Antoinette went through.
I do. I had a very premature baby born just as I entered the 3rd trimester. The room was so full they had to part and make a path for my husband to get to me. There was so many they wouldn't have been able to reach out and touch me. At least 8 people were there just waiting for my son since they were his team. And this was gathered within 1 to 2 hrs since it was an emergency c-section. I think they literally said, "Anyone want to see a premature baby being born?" After the baby left the room to go to the NICU There was hardly anyone left. This was a teaching hospital but when there is so much going on and you are scared for your child’s life, it was too much. Plus being as naked as the baby coming out of me and temporarily paralyzed was intimidating.
This still happens, all the time. Happened to me at the hospital with unnecessary hospital staff. Tons of people in the room, talking at full volume about whatever 💩 they wanted while I tried to focus on getting baby out alive.
This happened to me at fifteen and is one of the main reasons why I am choosing homebirth now.
How disgusting and rude !!
I understand why it was done because fraud must have been prevalent, but, good grief, can't a lady have some privacy ??
That was the reason. No baby switching and there were so many rumors about whose child the baby actually was.
@@EvelynEdwardsbut how would them watching her give birth prove who the father was? Where was their reasoning in that?
@@HB-ey2dk this always has to do with power. If there had been no male heirs and a baby was born and it was a girl - then someone down the family tree would inherit the throne. Big stakes were involved with royal children.
@@EvelynEdwards no I get that, I just mean how would they have proven paternity back then, if there were rumors of multiple possibilities? How would watching her give birth prove one person was the father over another?
@@HB-ey2dk I was wondering the same thing, like unless the baby came out black, how in the hell would they know who the dad was or wasn’t?!
As a mother I can’t imagine. The doctor 2 nurses and nicu team (a doc and three nurses) felt like an insane and uncomfortable amount of people for my son’s birth. But THOUSANDS?!? So many people that they cracked the railing around her bed?!? Insane. I hate it.
This is absolutely vile. No woman should ever be forced to give labor in public, especially to clear rumors. I actually found out on 23 and me that she is a very distant relative
There are many many things that Marie went through at a very young age that I absolutely wouldn’t have been able to handle.
That's not how 23 and me works.... Lol.
My mom gave birth to me at 19 with med students watching. She was on government insurance so they didn't need her permission. Don't worry not much has changed
@@kristingallo2158 😔😔😔 oh friend. We’re glad you’re here!!!
@@kristingallo2158That's just appalling! 😰
So, getting publicly beheaded wasn't the only indignity she had to suffer.
@@susanl4198 there were many.
I felt so sorry for the royal couple, they didn’t deserve their fate .
As that saying goes, men should consider themselves lucky that we're looking for equality not revenge
@Daisy-mw4bf women are their own worst enemies
@@Xxxfallen_angelxxX really? Because I've never been r*ped and beaten by multiple women. But multiple men have
And who helped raise men?
GIIIIRRLl yaaasss
And women should be considered lucky that men don't stop working and let you ladies handle everything by yourselves since you seem to want it so bad. But I doubt you're rushing to live on a deserted island with no men to kill the food or build the houses....
The things laboring mothers were forced to go through in the past are horrendous….
Edit: Also the things they forced women to do involving education and marriage too. I know at some point there were consummations that had to have an audience as proof that the newlyweds consummated. Also the virginity check, because they obviously didn’t understand how hymens worked…
Her brother - Joseph the II - actually visied the couple before she got pregnant, because of how long it was taking them. And he had to write them a pamphlet on how to make kids because both of them were so unexperienced.
I have a whole video on this part of the story. 💚🏰
That’s not true, though he was very experienced he was married before, and had many children.
@@evestar100 who? Louis XVI? That’s not factually correct. They didn’t know what they were doing.
@@evestar100 I like how you just made that up out of nothing.
@@evestar100 😂you’re def thinking of someone else
My sister was in labor for 36 hours .I felt so sorry for her .
Ohhhh goodness. Poor thing. 💚
She needed a casersan
I was in labour for 42.5 hours and then had an emergency caesarian. Both my baby and I were fine.
@@fburton8455 you can't know that. Long labour's are not uncommon. c- sections are inherently more dangerous than a vaginal birth and should only be used if medically necessary or if the mother requests it.
I was in labor 8 days n nights on operating table n gave birth ,,12.5 weeks preemie to my son while Dad slept on a cot in operating room, I ended up natural birth but very scary...Nurses came n went off duty then back in n there I still was.....
That’s just unimaginable! I loved Sophia Coppola’s version of the story. People forget that they were mere children, forced into public office !
I wish I could second your love of that film. Unfortunately it is so horrifically historically inaccurate, it does more harm than good to who Marie actually was.
As if that was her only problem. The french wrote disgusting, degrading and lewd phamphlets, parodying her. She displayed remarkable dignity in the very worst and last scenario, her death. I hope this much maligned young woman's soul now rests in peace.
Yes yes yes! Even in this comment section a huge % of people have made comments that are continued untrue quotes and propaganda. My fingers have been working double time to correct misinformation. 💚
@@EvelynEdwards thank you for attempting to restore her dignity and humanity by writing truthfully about her. I'll keep watching your channel. 🙂
@@K-bq3lv 💚💚💚💚🙏🏻
@EvelynEdwards I admire you for setting the record straight. You used the exact correct word to describe what was happening at the time, 'Propaganda'. It always leads to tragedy and disaster.
I feel bad for her. Shes constantly misquoted for the cake thing. Was accused of going to another man to get pregnant. Had to be observed for over 12 hours while trying to give birth. The people hated her even though she was said to have been very kind and generous. Then her head was cut off and the French tortured her children afterwards for years. And the worst part is she was the queen, so not in direct power so she didn't have the power to help the people when they needed, but they killed her anyway. She was killed because of her marriage to the king and because she was rich and royal.
Couldn’t agree with all of this more.
My goodness 😢
this is an introverts' hell
Being watched alone must've been absolutely horrific! 😢😢😢
The bs women went through and still go through today.
The more I hear about this family the more sorry I feel for them. Humans are crazy
Agree and agree!
This poor woman 😢 she suffered in many ways
@@Kitty_B yes, and the above comment still stands
@@Kitty_B you must be broke huh? Only broke dusties think they have a monopoly on hardship
@@Kitty_Bdo you?
I’m convinced they did this out of their own curiosity…. This had nothing to do with wanting to make sure substitutions were made- they could have had vouchers
A woman pulled into the spotlight, criticized, slandered and then slaughtered. A sad life for any woman and I constantly wonder what the world would have been if Women of Power had been allowed to live and be themselves as todays women try to be.
Marie Antoinette's mother wasn't much different from the male rulers in neighboring countries 🤷
I loved Marie Antoinette. I hate how the people did her.
Me too. 💚
So that’s why the mortality rates were so high! Stressing those women out while they are giving birth
Hygiene played a major major major factor 💚💚
But simple folk didnt have that public births, humans are just evolutionary underprivileged, every kid is born premature, thats why the first 3 months AFTER BIRTH are called 4th trimester. Kids are born premature because they already have huge heads compared to women's pelvic bones. Many women died in childbirth simply because of anatomical disadventages that are now fixed with C section. Of course germs made levels of mortality even higher, but humans have really tough birhs compared to other animals, its because of our posture and rotated pelvis
@@mmgs1148Everything but your last sentence is factually and completely, incorrect.
@@amy-leacoopertwiggyvonlea8969 It is absolutly correct
I am constantly disgusted by how us women have been treated throughout history ( and to this day)
💚
Yet Women force more innocent little girls to experience it.
The irony.
🤣
Emmm not all women. The more and more I learned about European women history, the more I realised why feminism is rampant and you hate men so much.
I can't believe that here in UK in the beginning of 1900 they were still debating whether or not you ladies have souls 😮.
I agree! And to think we are the ones literally creating life in our bodies, only to be treated with so much disrespect and torment throughout history. Sickening.
yes with the trans people wanting to call women "birthing person"
Dawg I don’t even want my mom in the room when I give birth 😭😭
😂😂💚
Wow… i feel so bad for her. Ppl looking at you in pain for half a day😭
Being watched by everyone in your weakest moments
💚😔
Most vulnerable yes, weakest? No, absolutely not.
@latinabeeotch417 right weakness and childbirth not even a possibility
Ufb
Obscene, to put anyone through it.
There's ways to ensure privacy and no baby's are switched.
I'm an anesthetist and we place epidurals, give general anesthesia and are present during births. I watched a 14yo girl with a room full of people trying to deliver.
I asked, who are these people? The church! The whole church was there. The girl was so embarrassed.
I said "honey, do you want them here?"
"No" she said softly.
I said "out please, she needs privacy. I know you are here to care for her, but right now WE have to care for her and her baby"
They left thankfully.
I couldn't believe they thought that was okay.
Poor girl.
Thank you for advocating for her! If you hadn’t have she probably wouldn’t have been able to do that herself.
You will forever be her hero.
Thank you for speaking for her. Poor girl!
You are a kind soul, thank you for advocating for her. I hope she’s free from those nosy people.
When my mom gave birth to my sister the doctor had about 12 med students with him to learn/witness. She didn’t think she could make them leave so she didn’t say anything and she said it was the most uncomfortable she’s ever been - and that includes the life and death situation with my birth. I’m going to tell her she was probably royalty in a past life. It’s been 37 years, maybe she’ll think it’s funny now 😂
💚💚💚 I’m so so sorry she had to go through that. We’re glad we have YOU!
Marie Antoinette was my great, great, great, great, great grandmother. DNA is awesome!
i wouldnt have survived in this time😭 They wouldve put me in a crazy house or executed me. Because i wouldve not put up with any of this bs😭 I have dignity.
💚💚
💙💙💙
If you had lived in those days you would have been brought up to consider the society normal. You wouldn't think the way you do now
@@paulief3817 well i obviously meant the person i am today wouldnt survive. Youre thinking too literal
@@cateeed.0111 I can't imagine any of us would thrive. I'd like to have a chance to float about in one of those 18th century dresses though
Maybe she was in labour for so long because of the added stress. Imagine bring in pain and in such a vulnerable situation, and crowds just surrounding you to get a view. Disgusting!
She was also a tiny woman as well.
The lives of women that time must've been horrible 😭 I feel for them.
It’s easier to give birth standing or squatting. You are fighting gravity while laying on your back pushing. 12 hours sounds like pure hell and having an audience on top of that too. I feel sorry for her.
She was married at 14... imagine how disturbing and disgusting it was for her to be scruted like this.
You have to be in such an executive headspace to labor… Her body was not able to find peace… This is absolutely insane.
Marie Antoinette was done very dirty by history. She was a young girl with this garbage but on her but she is always seen as a villain when she was a victim.
So so so agree!
I would never want to be a queen 👑 The lack of privacy and the danger of always having to protect the throne would not be worth the benefits to me
This makes me sick. And after all the humiliation, she was beheaded. What a sick tragedy 🤮🤮🤮🤮
imagine being born and having like a billion people staring at u
I feel like this could’ve been done in a private room with a few people inside both helping her and proving what ever they where trying to prove. And have people out side of the chamber who “wanted to see as well”. The world is always going to be hectic with our species but I’m so glad that it is more “civilized” now then before. And that generally around the world woman are treated like actual humans.
You couldn't do that in a private chamber. Because of the perceived ill-legitimacy of the child and the risk of baby snatch/swapping like she stated. Yes you can feel they could do that, but the truth was royalty back in the day had to have control over their people with influence and women were not seen as equals, but as property. So for them, it was like cattle giving birth and that was seen as the norm.
Really? Because I was forced to birth in the 1 position my body could not handle and was told I was not allowed to scream even though I had double contractions and ZERO medication natural birth. This was in the USA in a real hospital with health insurance I paid for! Us women deserve so much better!!!
@@SENSEFsame
Now people just film it for the entire world a d call it special and unique
@@MompreneurDiarythere's something called freedom of choice. there lies the difference
Its crazy how that no matter what time period we’re in, humans will still act like humans
Well said.
She had to go through the pain of labor while being a source of amusement for thousands of people (I highly doubt so many people came just to check the baby wasn’t switched out)
Can you imagine… having countless people watch your labor and delivery 😳 … I wished for her sake she would have been blessed like some women to have a very fast and minimal labor and delivery.. that would have been absolutely priceless.
@@gillchambers9008 what do you expect? Is she supposed to be psychic or something ?
Maybe the stress made it take longer. I heard of someone who had a family member walk in on their birth and all of her muscles tensed. They were promptly kicked out.
Still happens only with Doctors and Nurses watching.
Louis the 16th had some sort of physical problem that was fixed by doctors. That was why it took 8 years for them to conceive. After that Marie got pregnant within a year.
Video about this on my feed. He had phimosis. And he actually did not have a surgery. That didn’t happen.
@@EvelynEdwards I got this from a history documentary several years ago. I do remember the name of it.
@@christianeaster2776 there are people who think in he had surgery. There was a lot of talk back and forth about this. However in his diary he went riding and hunting the next day. That’s not something you do when you have surgery on your nether regions. There is no documentation to say he actually had the surgery.
@@EvelynEdwardsI looked primosis up. It does a lot of the time required surgery. When I found out what it was I realized that was what my dad had years ago. His foreskin for some reason tighten to such an extent, the doctor had to circumcise him. Very unpleasant. Presumably Louis must ha had a relatively mild case.
Women across time , cultures and religious just had it bad .
Versailles beauty is beyond compare
And she never said
Let them eat cake. She hated living in the palace.
YES!!! I have mentioned this at least 6 times in the comment section!
It’s a miracle the kid came out at all, Marie must have been so stressed and humiliated. 🙄
That is humiliating! I’ve given birth and I’d hate doing that in front of large crowds!!! 😢
They treated her so wrong, she was a good person
This adds a lot of context. I no longer judge her for hating the public and mocking them with the “let them eat cake” comment. This woman had to be in labor for 12 hours with strangers staring at her, and gossiped about for her entire life. I’d hate everyone too.
She is one of the most mischaracterized women in history …so many things people believe about her are so so so incorrect. She never said “let them eat cake”. Ever. Didn’t happen. This story began circulating 100 years before she was even born and was attached to every Queen of France before her.
The one who said that is some Countess... I don't remember exactly but Rousseau mentioned her
I "labored for" 24 hours then for 36 hours
Ohhhhhh man! Ouch!
Rest In Peace ✝️🕊️
How women have been treated back in those days is haunting
I went there. Versailles palace. It’s was awesome!
It’s an amazing place isn’t it?!
She fainted and almost passed away 😢 they opened the windows and made eveyone leave
She was 16 years old. A child.
She was 14 when they were first married. 💚
She was 22 when she had her first child
Why are we human beings such animals? 😢
Imagine having a captive audience for one of the greatest physical pains a person can experience.
They didn't have to have 1000 people come by to make sure it was really hers. Her life was a different kind of hell compared to the peasants. a pretty, shiny hell.
She was a child when she got married and a child when she became queen. So sad😢
What a horrific way to be forced to give birth.
Omg! Visited palace of Versailles recently including this bedroom but might have missed this part of the background story!!!😮
Now you’ll have to go back! 😉
Stress hormones increase pain during labour. That's one reason why modern hospital births can be so awful.
Yes, mine was AWFUL! Forced into the 1 position my body could not handle, told I wasn't allowed to scream even though I was having double contractions and no pain relief medications, I couldn't even push right until I got mad and screamed anyway! Screaming is primal! How f-in dare they boss me around like that in my most vulnerable state! But I'm a nice girl and tried so hard to cooperate, stupid me. And my baby was arriving early so I was already terrified. Fortunately, she was perfectly healthy, 4 weeks early but didn't even need the Nicu! Now I wish I had birthed her at home on my own! But I was terrified she'd be born unable to breathe so I went to the hospital.
Marie suffered a very public birth how terrible to agonise through all the labour pains and discomfort while being watched by so many people how humiliating.
Someone's sex life is something that definitely don't need to be discussed. Mercy sakes alive. That poor lady. Just horrible.
that poor women suffered so much
Nowadays they could livestream royal births on Tik Tok
I’ll skip that.
Let’s not.
😂😂😂😂
It seems that a doctor's certificate is considered enough. 😉👍
And she was barely 20!!!!!! That is horrific. The level of disrespect women had to go through. SMH
She was technically just barely 23. 💚
Brings back memories of walking through these doors
Ridiculous. It's a wonder any of them survived under that stress
1 in 3 women didn’t.
Poor woman al the power and gold could not make this worth it
Beautiful place
The things the mothers before had to endure to bring us this far... it's really amazing to think about how determined and brave they must have been.
What a sad life. My depression would have been unbearable.
In a meantime men were sitting elsewhere drinking and thinking how superior they are to us women...
Well….they were definitely there watching feeling superior. I don’t know if alcohol was involved. 😉
@@EvelynEdwards well I don't have any evidence for that but c'mon... It's a no brainer
That would have been hell. Poor lady.
What a beautiful place wow...
The Palace of Versailles is super spectacular.
@@EvelynEdwards Exquisite!
When my first child was born Major Burrows who was a midwife insisted on being present, years later she became Colnal Burrows of the Salvation Army, she was very kind to me, my Aunt Daisy who was my Grandmothers youngest sister arranged for me too be admitted to the nursing home at
101, Handsworth Wood Rd in Birmingham. ❤
That’s horribly disgusting 🤢
So disgusting. Like so many female public figures throughout history, she received undeserved hatred and scrutiny.
So so agree.
Things have not changed one iota. Man is still his own worst enemy.
I am a Marietta-the people of Marie. I love hearing history on her. Lovely video.

To live in a place like this would be amazing. The art work inside this building is out of this world.
They really didn't give a damn about safety of the baby or mother did they? Even royal women couldn't escape the curse. Even today dying during child birth is a possibility imagine what that poor woman went through.
I just can't imagine giving birth and it being treated as a spectator sport. Although, there does come a point in labor where you don't give a rat's hind end who's there you just want that baby OUT.
