Louis-Antoine and Marie-Thérèse did consummate their marriage 13 years after their wedding in a letter. By December, Marie-Thérèse fell pregnant and a letter from Dr. Lefebvre, Marie Therese’s doctor, explaining why the couple was so happy. Hue told his wife that the Duke of Angoulême would be a father in June. Marie-Thérèse would later miscarry her baby, but since the pregnancy was more than 20 weeks along, the baby would be considered stillborn. Marie-Thérèse then went to bath to recover from her pregnancy/childbirth.

I've removed the film and television section as unsourced & trivial (as most such sections are). There are still 6 CN tags, though. Hog Farm _talk 01:15, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
