She was anything but.

So she's Gaston's daughter, by the way.

She's like an Instagram influencer.

Yeah, okay.

So she's Gaston's daughter and she's telling us that Philippe shows up dressed as a shepherdess?

That's right, good knowledge.

There's some like thing in the French court of like, what should we dress up like?

It's hilarious.

Unveiling your drag persona, the shepherdess, at your brother's party, if your brother is the king of France, it's quite a bold move, Tom.

Well, but then again, I think like in an age when they obviously had anything they wanted at their fingertips within the reason, why not?

Like I can imagine that that would be, I don't know how serious the court was, I guess, because there's such opulence.
