Player frank h, actually, there is no proof whatsoever that it was ever said. It's possibly an early example of political propaganda, by the revolutionaries.

As the misquote was attributed later on based off the lavish gowns, services, and allowance it attributes to how out of touch the hierarchy was. Another example is the “Substitutions for Bread” offered by George III when bread was in short supply a menu is suggested to eat instead: venison, roast beef, poultry, turtle soup, and fish boiled in wine. A political cartoon from the 1790s.
