Did she do anything genuinely wrong?

Some of the king's most PR-wise disastrous decisions were reportedly made at her advice. Other than that, there's little for her to be blamed for. A woman of mediocre qualities taken over by wave of events that crushed thousands of lives. She was more of a victim of prejudices - people of France hated Austria, so an Austrian princess was also hated.
That depends on what you mean by "genuinely".
She made a few mistakes, but nothing that wouldn't have been excused as just gaffs if she wasn't Austrian and the time wasn't so tense. I don't think she viewed the French people with anything close to malice, if that's what you're asking. And she certainly didn't deserve what she got.
No. Just blood for the blood god (which leftism was until it was castrated by liberalism), so to speak.

>I don't think she viewed the French people with anything close to malice, if that's what you're asking
No, definitely not. Even after the violence of the October Days she wrote
>I hope that if there could be sufficient bread, things will get better. I speak to the people, the fishwives, the police, all give me their hands and I give mine. One has difficulty in believing what happened yesterday
or the quote after the Flour Wars
>It is quite certain that in seeing the people who treat us so well despite their own misfortune, we are more obliged than ever to work hard for their happiness
There's another quote, I wish I could find it offhand, where she basically tells her mother (who was dogging out the French people after a round of negative pamphlets about Marie Antoinette made it to Austria) that the French were good at heart, they just tended to have bouts of impulsiveness where they might indulge in gossip and negativity for the fun of it
I fucking love Brioche.

how rich
she wore white after labor day
"Let them eat cake lol fuck the poor XD"
"It is quite certain that in seeing the people who treat us so well despite their own misfortune, we are more obliged than ever to work hard for their happiness."
One of these is something she actually said. The other is propaganda mindlessly repeated to this day.
