Question: what happened to Marie Antoinettes Children?
Answer: Her elder son, Louis Joseph the Dauphin, and youngest child, Sophie both died before the revolution. Her younger son, the next Dauphin/titular Louis XVII died in prison after his mother. He (or at least his heart) was recently buried in royal fashion. Their eldest daughter, Marie-Therese, Madame Royale, survived the revolution, lived in exile, and returned to France with the Bourbon Restoration. She married her cousin Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angouleme (son of Charles X, her father's brother). Some royalists considered him Louis XIX and Marie Therese Queen of France after the abdication of Charles X. The marriage was childless, thus Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI have no descendents.
