Goofs

Anachronisms: When Marie Antoinette is first presented to King Louis XV, the Dauphin, and the other members of the French royal family in 1768, Louis' daughter, Princess Victoire (played by Molly Shannon), is clearly shown holding a pekingese. In fact, the pekingese was unknown in Europe until a hundred years later when British forces successfully invaded China in the Second Opium War and five pekingese belonging to the Emperor of China's aunt, who had committed suicide as the British troops advanced on the Forbidden City while the rest of the Imperial family fled, were brought back to Britain, where one was presented to Queen Victoria, who named it Looty.
