* HideYourLesbians: The Queen at least says all but explicitly she's in love with Gabrielle and asks Sidonie if she finds women attractive, while they may be more than simply friends. However, it's not made explicit. Sidonie is also hinted to be attracted by the Queen beyond simply devotion from a servant, and looks at Gabrielle [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping naked]] in [[EatingTheEyeCandy obvious interest]]. It's never made clear that Gabrielle [[ObliviousToLove even knows of Marie-Antoinette's attraction]], nor if she actually reciprocates it or they're in a relationship. Real rumors of Marie-Antoinette and Gabrielle having been lovers were circulated in the 1780s, though there's no hard evidence of this (they may have just been slander by their enemies, given the homophobic period).
