In 1788, some longer excerpts from Liselotte's letters appeared for the first time –under unexplained circumstances– initially in a French translation, then a few years later in the German original, under the title "Anecdotes from the French Court, especially from the times of Louis XIV and the Duke Regent". During the French Revolution, it was believed that Liselotte was a key witness to the depravity and frivolity of the Ancien Régime. This "Chronique scandaleuse" was all more popular in Germany when the editors of the letters succeeded in identifying the author as an honest and morally thinking German, portraying the princess in the midst of the depraved and frivolous French court life, especially since she herself had always demonstrated her German character towards the French courtiers. In her aversion to the French way of life (and cuisine!), in her enthusiasm for everything German (and especially Palatinate), she followed not only personal preferences but also the pattern of anti-French sentiment in German literature of the 17th century. Even after 40 years in France, when she wrote “with us” she always meant her old home.
