marie antoinette

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'french queen' is the definition.
'marie antoinette' can be an answer for 'queen' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'french' bit.

'ordered one a treat in time' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one'+'a'+'treat'+'in'+'time'='oneatreatintime'
'oneatreatintime' anagrammed gives 'MARIE-ANTOINETTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for marie antoinette that I've seen before include "Queen, guillotined in 1793" , "She lost her head" , "French queen, d.1793" , "unpopular queen" .)
