George was Prince of Denmark as was Queen Alexandra 😶 Albeit it few centuries later. And Denmark with Coberg had massive effect on 19 th century politics
And at least one of the pregnancies was with twins. So 17 pregnancies, but at least 18 children lost. I cant imagine the pain Anne and her husband went through.
I feel so bad for Anne it's horrible that she lost all of her children. I can't imagine losing one child let alone all 17. She was so lucky to have the only husband who didn't want to be King or any of her power.
I lost my first child, my only daughter during my final trimester. Losing her was unimaginable pain, I can't imagine the suffering that Anne went through. 😢

I legit almost had to stop listening at some point. Her childhood already wasn't a walk in the park and then loosing one child after another - absolutely gut wrenching 🫤
@@shanachayadavison5857 Mary certainly struggled, but she never lost a child and only had a fake pregnancy. Anne had 7 miscarriages, five stillborns, lost four babies in infancy and lost her last child age 10, I genuinely don’t think anyone comes close to that amount of sheer loss. Not to mention the physical toll 17 pregnancies in 16 years takes on a woman. She had multiple miscarriages and/or stillbirth a year. She lost four children, a miscarriage, a stillbirth and her two daughters dying of smallpox in one year. It’s just tragic
I used to live in an apartment complex called “Windsor court apartments.” The street names of the apartments included “Queen Anne Court” “Queen Victoria Court” “Queen Mary Court” “Queen Elizabeth Court” I got to live on the “Queen Anne Ct” street for a couple of years.
Another tuesday another GREAT video with Lindsay! You're the Queen of narration and history! All those AI showd have NOTHING on you! Keep up the good work! Anne and George deserved MUCH better in the children department.
I had hydrocephalus as a child, just like Anne's son. I have a shunt in my head from the surgery I had at age two. My condition was brought on by my mother having a traumatic delivery with me. She was in labor with me for three days. This was back in the mid 80s. I can't imagine what Anne went through with her own delivery that caused her son to have hydrocephalus...
Queen Elizabeth 1 = The last monarch of the house of TUDOR Queen Anne = The last monarch of the house of STUART Queen Victoria = The last monarch of the house of HANOVER
@SEGASister technically the late Queen Elizabeth II was the last of Windsor as King Charles III is Mountbatten-Windsor. So kind of a new house altogether :)
@@lilacgirl-z8w Considering what happened to Eleanor of Castille, who had sixteen children, it may be. From what we know, Anne's health wasn't as strong as her sister's regardless.
@@TheLionPear Well, one of the daughters of King Miguel, who married a prince of Bourbon-Parma, had nine pregnancies, and all of them were miscarriages. Not even Anne had this many, as outside of five, her other children were either miscarried, including twins, or stillborn.
Under her the acts on union qas passed. Great Britain was born under her! Love English history and this is my favorite channel for it! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love when you do in person footage for your videos. BBC needs to give you a show where you tour royal sites and talk about the royals who lived/stayed/visited there.
Hi Lindsay, thanks so much for releasing this video.also I wanted to let you know that I watched The Favorite on Saturday, so that I could prepare for this video ❤..thank you once again for releasing this video
Lindsay!!! I cannot thank you enough for slowing down the cadence of your reading. I think I can actually sort of follow the story!!! ( family history of the subjects are so complicated if you’re not super familiar. Even a little slower be good. I need a nano second more yo take in all the info you’re throwing down. 😊😊❤❤) love your channel soooo much!!! ❤❤❤
I find that Anne could be interpreted as a great delegator she had quite possibly the best ministers of any British Monarch, which she would have no problem removing from office when they overstepped or erred which to me points to her being a great delegator which is a quality we don’t appreciate as much even though it’s a amazing quality in a leader. I also think she was the only Stuart that truly respected understood and developed their role as constitutional monarch she focused on image and mostly left the government of he realm to her competent ministers. I’m of the school of historical thought that Anne is a victim of sexism as most of her qualities are traditionally feminine (calm, quiet, pious, responsible and loyal) contrast to Elizabeth so who displayed traditionally male qualities (headstrong, boisterous, courageous).
I recently moved to the pacific northwest and there's beautiful little reminders of Queen Anne on any patch of green ☺️ you're bound to stumble upon some Queen Anne's lace on just about any natural trail lol
These nobles were born without the benefit of modern medicine, only the strongest seemed to survive. These kings, queens went through so much loss. How did they manage? Did their beliefs in a supreme being and a paradise keep them going? I guess their ambitions too?
Mary I and Mary II being outshined by their youngest sister is kinda of an interesting coincidence 😅 I feel so bad for Anne... Loosing 17 children 😢 At least people are beginning to give her some credit! ❤
Another brilliantly entertaining and informative video, and I can't believe that your next video will be about the sidelined 40 or so Catholic candidates - I've honestly wondered about this several times before and even stopped this video to zoom into the family tree you showed (aha, the claims are principally through some fecund (mostly female Catholic-marrying) generations descending from Elizabeth Stuart through Electress Sophia's older siblings - of course!!). Anyway, can't wait for your next video exploring these branches of the European monarcho-aristo complex :)
Anne sure was a great Queen like her sister. Unifier of Great Britain and progenitor of the British Empire, putting the seeds of dominance for her country in Europe and the world, all while she had the bad luck of all these miscarriages and children that were either stillborn or didn't live enough to reach adulthood. Shame that she and her husband were condemned by history until more recent times, and it also didn't help that Sarah Churchill spread smearing rumours about her because she distanced herself from her after Anne had enough of her callous attitude. Great job as always, Lindsay! I always wondered: how can you make profiles of royals this detailed yet so clearly visible? I tried on Canva, which I often use for miniatures, but whenever I tried to use the image of a royal's profile for a project, the texts would be too small when it's saved or used in a video editor, and it also doesn't help that the space is limited and wouldn't fit for those who have many children and consorts. I would want to make history projects about rulers like these, but I wouldn't know how to do it precisely.
Thank you for another great video. If anyone wants a fictional version of this story, I recommend the BBC's The First Churchills. It's very low budget by modern standards, but the acting and writing are superb. Susan Hampshire as Sarah Churchill is everything.
Can you please make a video on Queen Rajiya sultan of Delhi and Rani Lakshmi Bai of jhansi, and there are many many unknown and forgotten Indian Warrior queens whose stories deserve to be told ❤❤❤❤❤
Anne Arundel County was named for a Countess of Baltimore not Queen Anne. Annapolis was originally named for Anne Arundel but then changed to being named for Queen Anne
Nice to hear more from this era. There is so much about the Tudors, that I know alot of the information by heart. Looking forward to learning more. Thx
“… [William Duke of Gloucester, Anne’s only surviving child]’s parents were second cousins…” Not an expert on Anne’s medical case, and I haven’t looked to see if Anne or her husband George had prior inbreeding in their respective family histories. But straight-up second cousins have an inbreeding coefficient of 3.125%. (For reference, first cousins have a coefficient of 12.5%, I.e. 4x as inbred.) I think it’s more interesting to look at the fact that Anne, her sister Mary, and THEIR MOTHER, Anne Hyde, ALL had more trouble than usual producing live or robust babies. Their father’s brother, Charles II, had no problem producing healthy children with all of his mistresses. Though the three pregnancies with his wife were all stillborn… I’m wondering if either 1.) whatever problem with fertility was occurring entered the family with Anne Hyde, AND/or 2.) the Stuart men, Charles II and James II had some X-chromosomal fertility weakness that only “entered the chat” when they procreated with a woman with the same weakness, ex. Anne Hyde but not Mary of Modena. Hmm… By no means an expert, but I think it makes sense to consider looking higher up the chain that Anne and George of Denmark’s consanguinity. 3.125% is *low*, all things considered. For example, the majority of U.S. states and territories ban or require case-by-case genetic review of first cousin marriages; to my knowledge, there are no U.S. laws about second cousin marriages. (Not weighing in on the practice, just stating the law.) And while Anne’s case stands out because it was SO awful (all the little rabbits :(), her mom’s and her sister’s bad luck is similarly, unusually extreme for the period and worth considering.
Mary of Modena had 12 pregnancies before her son James was born, so I think the possibility that the problem was with the Stuart men after Charles II (maybe including him, depending on his partner like his wife Catherine of Braganza) is very possible. Both of James II's wives had multiple miscarriages/stillbirths/infant deaths
I think Americans place too much emphasis on inbreeding in the Royal families of Europe. They were no more inbred than the vast majority of the population at the time. For centuries before the industrial revolution, something like 90% of the population lived in small rural communities - they were very insular and most hardly ever went further than the next village all their lives. They were all related to each other in some way as they had been marrying within the same small gene pool for hundreds of years. Which is probably why it has always been legal to marry first cousins here in the UK. Were there some glaring examples in Royal history? Of course - but they are few and far between, considering the thousands of Royal marriages that had no problems. There are other reasons for unfortunate deaths besides inbreeding.
@@reyisawesome ::nods:: I remember a Lucy Worsley documentary of Henry VIII, suggesting that he may have had some kind of blood antibody issue? ::goes researching:: “Kell antigen system”. By *no* means an expert here, but as Lucy explained it: If Henry VIII had this K1 antigen and his wife/mistress did not, during their first pregnancy, her body would develop antibodies to fight off the antigen. Baby #1 has normal odds of survival. But in all subsequent pregnancies, the woman’s blood now has K1 positive antibodies. And 90+% of babies (at present) are born K1 negative. So Mom’s antibodies can attack Baby’s blood cells, causing ::research again:: “autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA)” or “hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)”. TL;DR: If Henry VIII was K1+, the only fair shot his K1- partners had was Baby #1; in Babies 2-♾️, Mom’s antibodies against Henry’s K1+ blood are going to attack the fetus, making it sickly or killing it outright :(. If the same situation was active in James II and (again, not an expert) compounded in his daughters, Mary II and Anne I, their horrific fertility records make sense. ::exasperated hand gestures:: Their own bodies were attacking their babies.
Found out some years ago that Queen Ann died on my birthday August the first something I found interesting and grim .She deserves. Better reputation Queen Ann.
Is anyone else ancient enough to recall the period drama "The First Churchills". It was way back in the 60's I think, and Susan Hampshire played Sarah C. So much enjoyed the video on Mary II thought I'd look at this one same day. Very interesting and informative about Queen Anne, thank you!
Can you please do a video of Catherine-Rosalie Gerard Duthé (1748-1830),alternately Duthe or Du The, was a celebrated French courtesan. A companion of French kings and European nobility, she has been called "the first officially recorded dumb blonde." Duthé was a frequently requested subject for portraits, including partial and full nud€$, many of which still exist in museums and private collections.
since you called Q. Mary "Queen of Demure" i was expecting Q. Anne to be "Brat Queen" lol. i have a feeling she would relate to Girl, so confusing by Charli XCX
Could you make a video about the new queen The Māori of New Zealand!!! 🇳🇿 she’s only the second queen, her grandmother being they first queen just a thought 😊
If you ask me ,Anne married a wonderful man. He was a devoted husband and very supportive. If you ask me , he was light years ahead of the men in that era.
Out of curiosity, what would Anne and Mary had been called when they were children and what would Anne's daughters have been called? Great video as always!!
Before their marriages they were known as ‘her highness, lady (Anne/Mary)’ and after their marriages they were Her Royal Highness Princess Anne of Denmark and Mary of Orange respectively. Anne’s daughters would have been referred to as ‘The Lady ___’ until they married and took their husband’s titles. Both Anne’s short-surviving daughters were referred to in this way before they died
I would argue that her overall worldwide impact was evil due to her strong support of the 1712 “Asiente de Negros,” a contract giving England exclusive rights to “supply Spanish America with African slaves for 30 years.” The human misery that resulted from this is incalculable.
Lindsay I loveeee ypur videos and I wanted to ask you if you coudl make a video about suor juana ines de la Cruz that is know as the first feminist in south america
Holding out hope for a Queens of the World video on Zenobia, the Queen of Palmyra. Known for her bold rebellion against the Roman Empire, she expanded Palmyra's territory, conquering Egypt and much of the Eastern Roman Empire, including Syria and parts of Anatolia, after the death of her husband, King Odaenathus. Zenobia even declared herself and her son rulers of these lands, directly challenging Roman authority.
Another Fun Fact,Both Elizabeth, Queen Of Bohemia And Anne, Princess Royal And Princess Of Orange Were Named After The Last Queens Of The Previous Dynasties, Elizabeth,The Eldest Daughter Of James VI & I After Elizabeth I,And Anne,The Eldest Daughter Of George II After Queen Anne!!!😉😏😀🥰😊☺️
Essentially, George was the first modern prince consort just by taking a backseat and not interve in the duties of Anne. About Victoria, well remember that she wanted her husband to be King Consort, the only reason with she didn't give Albert the crown was because that is imposible :v
History youtubers need to have a trigger warning on vids that have Charles in em man. This aint even about the habsburgs and i still got jumpscared by his ass lol
I think George truly loved Anne, I can't image the pain of sitting alone together crying over their dead children
I was thinking the same thing, as sad as it is, to have someone share your grief with is an incredibly strong bond to be envied
It was nice to hear good things about Anne's husband instead of the usual rude things most people say about him
It's definitely rare.
George was Prince of Denmark as was Queen Alexandra 😶
Albeit it few centuries later.
And Denmark with Coberg had massive effect on 19 th century politics
He sounds pretty chill.
Losing 17 children is insane. I can’t imagine how much pain Anne had to suffer because of this.
And she probably had people whispering about her not being able to produce an heir. So sad
And at least one of the pregnancies was with twins. So 17 pregnancies, but at least 18 children lost. I cant imagine the pain Anne and her husband went through.
And in her very early life she had lost three or so important people in her life. Hers was a lifetime of loss it looks like.
I feel so bad for Anne it's horrible that she lost all of her children. I can't imagine losing one child let alone all 17. She was so lucky to have the only husband who didn't want to be King or any of her power.

TL;DR: If Henry VIII was K1+, the only fair shot his K1- partners had was Baby #1; in Babies 2-♾️, Mom’s antibodies against Henry’s K1+ blood are going to attack the fetus, making it sickly or killing it outright :(. If the same situation was active in James II and (again, not an expert) compounded in his daughters, Mary II and Anne I, their horrific fertility records make sense. ::exasperated hand gestures:: Their own bodies were attacking their babies.
Found out some years ago that Queen Ann died on my birthday August the first something I found interesting and grim .She deserves. Better reputation Queen Ann.
Poor Queen Anne! She loved her subjects and hated war.
Is anyone else ancient enough to recall the period drama "The First Churchills". It was way back in the 60's I think, and Susan Hampshire played Sarah C.
So much enjoyed the video on Mary II thought I'd look at this one same day. Very interesting and informative about Queen Anne, thank you!
The film the favourite is one of my favorite. Glad to know more about the queen, sarah & abigail. The king seems like a chill guy 😎
I really like the way George was about his wife and her position. He seems to have been a good husband and not power-hungry as so many others.
Handel “composed a number of recognizable songs?” That’s the understatement of the century.
It's a shame her reign was overshadowed by that of her successors, the Hanoverians.
Nice job!
Can you please do a video of Catherine-Rosalie Gerard Duthé (1748-1830),alternately Duthe or Du The, was a celebrated French courtesan. A companion of French kings and European nobility, she has been called "the first officially recorded dumb blonde." Duthé was a frequently requested subject for portraits, including partial and full nud€$, many of which still exist in museums and private collections.
Great as ever
since you called Q. Mary "Queen of Demure" i was expecting Q. Anne to be "Brat Queen" lol. i have a feeling she would relate to Girl, so confusing by Charli XCX
What a woman 😃. Thank you for putting Anne’s life into perspective. 🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺
Queen Anne's lace isn't just symbolic of infertility. (Although it's not as safe as modern methods of fertility control.)
Let's do the Hanover dynasty of Germany and England.
What would have happened if Anne married George of Hanover?
Could you make a video about the new queen The Māori of New Zealand!!! 🇳🇿 she’s only the second queen, her grandmother being they first queen just a thought 😊
Do you think you could make a video about Isabella II of Spain, please?
I asked for this video on one of your yt lives! with Mary the second thank you for doing them!
If you ask me ,Anne married a wonderful man. He was a devoted husband and very supportive. If you ask me , he was light years ahead of the men in that era.
Out of curiosity, what would Anne and Mary had been called when they were children and what would Anne's daughters have been called?
Great video as always!!
Before their marriages they were known as ‘her highness, lady (Anne/Mary)’ and after their marriages they were Her Royal Highness Princess Anne of Denmark and Mary of Orange respectively.
Anne’s daughters would have been referred to as ‘The Lady ___’ until they married and took their husband’s titles. Both Anne’s short-surviving daughters were referred to in this way before they died
Please do a video on Queen Tamar the Great of Georgia (Caucasus)!
Excellent video comme d'habitude
I love these historical stories!! How sad for her in being a mother😔
Have you ever thought about doing a video of Isabella II of Spain.
I would argue that her overall worldwide impact was evil due to her strong support of the 1712 “Asiente de Negros,” a contract giving England exclusive rights to “supply Spanish America with African slaves for 30 years.” The human misery that resulted from this is incalculable.
Love from england
who else like Lindsay

Holding out hope for a Queens of the World video on Zenobia, the Queen of Palmyra. Known for her bold rebellion against the Roman Empire, she expanded Palmyra's territory, conquering Egypt and much of the Eastern Roman Empire, including Syria and parts of Anatolia, after the death of her husband, King Odaenathus. Zenobia even declared herself and her son rulers of these lands, directly challenging Roman authority.
Thanks!
I wonder if Anne perhaps had PCOS?
I love your content and would like to see a video on out last maori Kuini(Queen) Te Atairangi Kaahu
Another Fun Fact,Both Elizabeth, Queen Of Bohemia And Anne, Princess Royal And Princess Of Orange Were Named After The Last Queens Of The Previous Dynasties, Elizabeth,The Eldest Daughter Of James VI & I After Elizabeth I,And Anne,The Eldest Daughter Of George II After Queen Anne!!!😉😏😀🥰😊☺️
Did this get reuploaded?
Lindsay, i don't know if you did a video of Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire. If you didn't, please do so 😊❤
I’m sorry I just can’t. The video is great and I’m totally learning it’s just Duke/Duchess of Mawl-buh-ruh, not Marl-boro.
❤❤❤
Thanks👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🍂🍁🍂
3 family deaths in 3 years Jesus Christ 😭
Could you do a video on the princes of lichtenstein?
Essentially, George was the first modern prince consort just by taking a backseat and not interve in the duties of Anne.
About Victoria, well remember that she wanted her husband to be King Consort, the only reason with she didn't give Albert the crown was because that is imposible :v
love,from Uganda
