Will four royal children prevail through the disastrous French Revolution?

After seven years of marriage to the French King Louis XVI, Queen Marie Antoinette is finally about to give birth to a potential male heir to the throne. But to the disappointment of an entire nation, her firstborn is a daughter. The Queen eventually has three more children, two boys and a girl who live a life of privilege at the castle of Versailles while the people of France suffer from poverty and poor living conditions. During a perfect political storm spurred on by the successful American Revolution, the angry citizens drag the royal family back to Paris, never to see their home again. What follows is the horror of the French Revolution exposing the children to greed, imprisonment, murder and loss beyond all imagining. What will happen to these royal children? Will they be able to survive and if so, what kind of lives will they have? Royal Kids of the Revolution is the true story of how this family and especially these children endured the worst time in the history of France from each of their births to their deaths. “Papa, do you know what a guillotine is?” “Where did you hear that word, Louis Charles?” the King asked incredulously. “I heard the guards say it was a new invention to kill enemies of the government.” “I’m sure it’s all just silly talk meant to sound big and threatening. Don’t pay any attention to it, Louis Charles.”
