Queen Marie Quotes in Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998)

Danielle: I will speak for her.

[Rodmilla turns around and sees Danielle dressed like a princess while the others bow]

Danielle: She is, after all, my stepmother.

Rodmilla: [kneels; quietly] Your Highness.

Henry: Marguerite, I don't believe you've met... my wife.

Danielle: [to Rodmilla, smiling] I want you to know that I will forget you after this moment, and never think of you again. But you, I am quite certain, will think about me every single day for the rest of your life.

Rodmilla: [quietly] And how long might that be?

Queen Marie: Choose your words wisely, madame, for they may be your last.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: A woman would do practically anything for the love of a daughter, Your Majesties. Perhaps I did get... a little carried away.

Marguerite: Mother, what have you done? Your Majesty, like you, I am just a victim here. She has lied to us both and I am ashamed to call her family.

Marguerite: You see? You see what I have to put up with?

King Francis: Silence, both of you! Good Lord!

[to Jacqueline]

King Francis: Are they always like this?

Henry: And it is my life.

Queen Marie: Francis, sit down before you have a stroke. Really. the two of you.

[to Henry]

Queen Marie: Sweetheart... you were born to privilege and with that comes specific obligations.
