[By the way, for all those who paid the same level of attention in history class as I did, the rumors that Marie Antoinette was a childhood friend of Louis XIV are totally wrong. I just checked. They are three or four generations removed from one another.]
As for Marie Antoinette, she was born forty years after the death of Louis XIV….
Edit:
Note, however, that there was an different person by the name of Maria Antonia of Austria, some distant relative of Marie Antoinette, who was a contemporary of Louis XIV. He was already 30 when she was born, so she could not have been his "childhood friend", and moreover there is no indication she ever visited France. She did die before him,though.
