The Queen of France Pranked a Girl at Court by Secretly Taking in Her Clothes to Make Her Think She Was Pregnant

The Queen of France once pranked a girl at court by secretly taking in her clothes to make her think she was pregnant. This is this great, great story from the memoir of Hortense Manchinie. The queen turned up by the six-year-old's bedside consultant and said, gosh, yes, you are a pregnant, aren't you? Then they planted a live infant in her bed.
