In the glittering court of Palace of Versailles, a single jewel sparked one of the greatest scandals in history.
A priceless diamond necklace.
A disgraced cardinal.
A brilliant con artist.
And a queen whose reputation would never recover.
When Cardinal Louis René Édouard de Rohan secretly purchased an extraordinary necklace—believing he was acting for Marie Antoinette—he had no idea he had stepped into an elaborate conspiracy.
The diamonds vanished.
Pamphlets exploded across Paris.
The public demanded answers.
The trial that followed humiliated the royal court and unleashed a storm of political fury that helped undermine the monarchy itself.
In this gripping narrative history, Julien Peltier reconstructs the real story behind the infamous Affair of the Diamond Necklace—a tale of ambition, forgery, deception, and revenge that shook France just years before the French Revolution.
From secret meetings in moonlit gardens to courtroom drama before the Parlement of Paris, The Queen's Necklace reads like a historical thriller—except every detail is true.
A dazzling story of diamonds, scandal, and the fragile power of reputation, this book reveals how one audacious fraud helped topple a dynasty.
