Sofia Carmina Coppola has always been fascinated by French history in the 18th century. In her heart, the Palace of Versailles is no longer a palace building, but a condensed national history. She chose the biographical novel Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna: Journey published by Antonia Fraser in 2001 as the adaptation object instead of the biography "The Decapitated Queen: The Double Tragedy of Revolution and Marriage" written by Stephen Zweig. It is because the latter's portrayal of Queen Mary is more focused on politics and history, while the former has a more character touch. She focused her script on the period when Mary was in the Palace of Versailles, focusing not on the historical evaluation of Mary, but on the vitality and appeal of the young people in the court, which can allow the audience to blend in and go back to history together.
