The Affair of the Diamond Necklace

Season 1 · Episode 15

Thursday, September 26, 2024 • Duration 40:01

In this episode of The Button List, we delve into the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, a scandalous conspiracy that shook the French monarchy in the late 18th century. At the center of the plot was an extravagant diamond necklace, a desperate cardinal, a cunning swindler, and a queen whose reputation would be permanently damaged.

We’ll explore how Jeanne de la Motte, a crafty noblewoman, deceived Cardinal de Rohan into believing that Queen Marie Antoinette secretly desired the necklace—only for Jeanne to steal it for herself. Through forged letters, an imposter queen, and an elaborate web of lies, this scheme became one of the most sensational scandals of the era.

Though Marie Antoinette was innocent, the affair fueled public outrage and cemented her image as a symbol of royal indulgence. With France teetering on the edge of revolution, the scandal dealt a devastating blow to the monarchy’s already fragile reputation.

Join us as we unravel this tale of greed, betrayal, and deception, and reveal the lasting impact it had on France's history—and why you should always take partial payment upfront, no matter how wealthy your clients may be.
