She wasn't 10 years old at the time. Born in 1755, Marie Antoinette would have been ~34 in 1789. Or are you talking about someone else?

According to the article linked above, it may have come from Jean-Jacques Rousseau Michele earlier, when Marie Antoinette was 10, and living in Austria. The actual quote may date back to the 1660’s.
