The Queen of England, the Queen of the Nile, the Queen of Sheba, or the Queen of Everything.

| Chateau de Versailles |
A day trip to the Palace of Versailles gave me some insight
on what it would be like to be Queen.
Or
at least what it was like to be Marie Antoinette who lived at Versailles in
over-the-top opulence with her husband Louis XVI in the 1700s.

For if you were Marie Antoinette, you’d have a whole slew of
people who would do anything for you…… every day.
Pick
out your clothes, do your hair, make you breakfast in bed, take out the trash, grocery shop, clean your bathrooms (okay, they really didn't have bathrooms)……
They’d probably even exercise for you.

You’d never need anything…… jewels, designer clothes, silks
and tapestries, fine chocolates, exquisite statues and light fixtures like the ones below..... all yours.

Perhaps she would have enjoyed being a regular gal.....
just like the rest of us.
