Madame Royale

Daughter of Versailles, Prisoner of France

Versailles raised her in mirrors—then the Revolution taught her what stone can do to a girl.

Marie-Thérèse Charlotte, Madame Royale, was born into silk, ceremony, and a world that believed itself permanent. But when France turns on its monarchy, she is forced from palace corridors into the Tuileries—then into the Temple, where keys decide everything and childhood becomes a thing she is no longer allowed to hold.

In Madame Royale: Daughter of Versailles, Prisoner of France, Alana Sanchez follows the forgotten survivor of the French Revolution—not as a footnote to famous parents, but as a living, breathing human being trapped inside history’s machinery. From the first roar of Paris to the slow cruelty of captivity, from separation and loss to exile and the burden of being remembered, this biography traces a life defined not by a single dramatic end—but by endurance.

Because Marie-Thérèse didn’t die in a headline.

She lived after it.
