With Louis still not consummating the marriage after four months, Marie realises that producing an heir will not be straightforward. She turns to Madame du Barry for support and advice. However, after discovering more about the woman’s past, Marie is shocked, and ‘friend’ becomes foe. There cannot be two queens at Versailles, and du Barry is not about to disappear.
