Did Christine ever actually love or like King Louis?


We didnt get to see much of their relationship in the movie but from what we did see it seemed like she liked him. what are your opinions? and how long do you think their relationship lasted?

reply

She was his mother, she loved him.

But didn't like him.

reply

Christine was Raoul's fiancee. Anne was Louis and Philippe's mother.

reply

You're right. Sorry.

I think she felt a sense of ingrained servility, because at the time people looked up to royalty like they were the step just below God. But love? No.

reply

She did not love him, to be with him was advantageous for sure (I think her mother or sister was examinated by royal doctors) but it was not love

reply

She loved his money.
