Marie Antoinette's Secret Revealed - Did She Have An Affaire With Axel Von Fersen ?: More than 200 years after her execution, a few of Marie-Antoinette's secrets have been revealed. The last queen of France corresponded with the Swedish count Axel von Fersen during the French Revolution. The letters were preserved, and are still available to us today, but what Marie Antoinette wrote to Von Fersen remained a mystery for a long time, as parts of the letters had been made illegible. Quite recently, scientists of the Sorbonne University have managed to decipher the blackened passages in Marie Antoinette’s letters. And now we know not only what the letters say, but also who was responsible for the censorship.
