Marie Antoinette saying: “Let them eat cake” is a popular myth. It’s the same thing with Admiral Yamamoto supposedly saying: “I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve” after the Pearl Harbor attack (as portrayed in the film Tora! Tora! Tora!). There’s no surviving, documented testimony anywhere of him ever saying that.

It wasn’t Marie Antoinette. (It seems to go back to a folktale princess, with brioche in the place of cake.)
