Queen Anne of Great Britain had difficulty having children. Those she did successfully give birth to, died very soon after.

She was pregnant 18 times in her life, but not all of her children survived birth.

Six of the 18 children survived long enough to be named, but they died very soon after:

  • Mary (Born June 2nd 1685. Died 8th February 1687)
  • Anne Sophia (Born 12th May 1686. Died 2nd February 1687)
  • William, Duke of Gloucester (Born 24th July 1689. Died 29th July 1700)
  • Mary (Born 14th October 1690. Died same day)
  • George (Born 17th April 1692. Died same day)
  • Charles (Born 15th September 1698. Died same day)

When Queen Anne died on 1st August 1714, she left no surviving children. So George I, her second cousin, inherited the throne.
