  1. Of her four children, two were daughters.   One, Sophie Helene Beatrix (1786-1787) died very young.  Marie Therese Charlotte (1778-1851), the eldest child, was titled Madame Royale, and survived the Revolution.  She married her cousin, Louis-Antoine, duc d'Angouleme, but had no children.

    Here's some interesting information on her:

This picture always hung in the room of Marie Antoinette's daughter, the Duchesse d'Angouleme, who said that it was a "speaking likeness" of her mother." ) From this page - scroll down about half way: http://www.batguano.com/VigeeMAgallery.h...


  2. Marie Antoinette had two daughters, one died right after birth and one survived the French revolution:

    Sophie Hélène Béatrix of France (July 9, 1786 - June 19, 1787) was the youngest daughter of King Louis XVI of France and his Queen consort, Marie Antoinette. As the daughter of the king, she was a Fille de France. The baby was named for one of her father's sisters, who had died a few years before the baby's birth.

    Her death was a cause for much sorrow on the part of both of her parents. When Marie Antoinette's foster brother attempted to console her with the fact that given Sophie's tender age, Marie Antoinette must not have grown overly attached to her, the bereaved mother said only, "Don't forget that she would have been my friend," a reference to her words after the birth of Sophie's older sister, Marie-Thérèse, in 1778.

    Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte de France (19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851) was the eldest child of King Louis XVI of France and his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette. After the execution of her parents, during the remainder of her imprisonment in the tower of the Temple, Marie-Thérèse was never told what had happened to her family.

    It was only once the Reign of Terror subsided that Marie-Thérèse was allowed to leave France. She was taken to Vienna, the capital city of her cousin, the Holy Roman Emperor Francis II. Marie-Thérèse died of pneumonia on 19 October 1851. It was three days after the fifty-eighth anniversary of the execution of her mother, Marie Antoinette.
