Anne: The Forgotten Queen

Season 2 Episode 4 of 4

Professor Alice Roberts delves into the life and death of Anne, Queen of England from 1702 to 1714. Being the last Stuart monarch and getting pregnant at least 17 times. Despite her remarkable fecundity, Queen Anne was not able to produce an heir as most of her pregnancies resulted in miscarriages or stillbirths and none of the live births survived beyond childhood. She suffered from gout for much of her life - so much so, that she even had to be carried to her coronation at Westminster Abbey. The gout rendered her largely immobile in her latter years
