The Tragic And Incredible Life Of The Last Stuart Monarch | Queen Anne of Great Britain - PART 2

Queen Anne has been mostly pushed to one side in history, seen as a weak woman overwhelmed by tragedy and manipulated by her favourites. But the truth is Queen Anne was a stubborn, strong woman who bore the loss of her many children and husband with dignity, and sought to find the balance between her own opinion, and the right thing to do. This video looks at the years when William III and Mary II, Anne's elder sister, jointly took the thrones of England and Scotland, and the irreparable divide that grew between the two sisters. We also see how Anne and George's hopes were raised with the birth of their surviving son, William, Duke of Gloucester, and how the hopes of an entire nation were dashed with his death...
