Trivia[]
- Maria Theresa was the only one of Marie Antoinette's children to reach adulthood.
- In 1830, she was briefly disputed as the queen of France. Technically she was queen for twenty minutes, on August 2, 1830, between the time her father-in-law signed the instrument of abdication and the time her husband, reluctantly, signed the same document.
- Marie Antoinette almost died of suffocation during the birth process due to a crowded and unventilated room, but the windows were finally opened to let fresh air in the room in an attempt to revive her.
- Marie-Thérèse died of pneumonia on October 19, 1851, three days after the fifty-eighth anniversary of the execution of her mother.
- Marie-Thérèse is described on her gravestone as the "Queen Dowager of France", a reference to her husband's 20-minute rule as King Louis XIX of France.
