WHAT HAPPENED TO QUEEN ANNE’S CHILDREN? Stuart history documentary | Royal history | History Calling

Is it possible there was an inbred note in this family? So many miscarriages is certainly not normal indeed! And only having one living child, a son, oh, my!

I think she had an autoimmune disorder, and it made it difficult to carry to term. The entire mystery could be solved with a basic autosomal DNA analysis. Of course, you'd want to do one on her husband as well and at least some of the children. Enough to establish whether those who died earlier inherited some bit of genetics the longer lived children did not.

Some of her kids survived, or i wouldn't be here. Cool video.

my menopause beagn at 36

infertility is always horrible, I was barren due to PCOS and then had cancer and my reproductive oragnas had to be removed. ( my fertility history is like that of Mary 1) womens' health was obviously not good then and infant mortality high. I study my family ancestry and many of my great great plus grandmas died giving birth.

tragic. I knew a few people with repeated miscarriages, one of the women lost 12 babies, she never had a living baby, so sad.

How awful for you god bless you❤

Babies are such miracles ❤

I wonder if these women could establish strong bonds with their last chidren that were born after so much grief.

You have to wonder if she eventually just became numb to it. After losing 10 pregnancies and babies I’m pretty sure your brain would just disassociate

j. draper casually drop that in another video but I wanted to know more. I don't typically feel bad for billionaires and the monarchy but this must have been so awful!

I'm a bit confused. You refuted the possibility of George of Denmark's being homozygous Rh positive, but did not consider if he was heterozygous Rh positive, in which case there is the possibility of producing Rh negative children. Also, you didn't mention the possibility of George of Denmark's being Kell positive.

Thank you.

Poor thing

Poor Queen Anne........😢 I can't imagine losing ONE baby, much less SEVENTEEN OR EIGHTEEN! That must've been torture! Lucy Worsley describes her perfectly, theologically fit to rule, but biologically cursed. 😢 Just heartbreaking! 😭 I wish I could hug her. ❤

I would like to offer a different theory... lupus.

Poor Anne..so much Heartbreak for her.

Her poor body never had time to recover between pregnancies 😢

So basically this woman almost never had a regular period?!

Child mortality rate was insane back then. Yet healthcare wasn't much better. At the same time, I think it also has to be said, that the overall lifestyle & living conditions, didn't necessarily make for good environments, even for royals. Not including that if there were any generational health issues, those could EASILY affect pregnancy capabilities for women... but 17 pregnancies?! Even with multiple miscarriage & stillborns, how many YEARS would she have been pregnant, almost back to back?
I can mildly relate, having had 4 pregnancies in 5 years in my 20's & from a health perspective, it can be highly draining on the body, when it doesn't have ample time to recover. All of my kids lived of course & were born healthy, & even though I gave up my youngest 2 for adoption at birth, I still struggled with health/sickness quite a bit afterward.

RH factor

She must have experienced psychological as well as physical issues as a result of her numerous unsuccessful pregnancies.

Incest

I don’t know what caused those babies to die, but rapid succession of pregnancy RARELY results in successful pregnancies or healthy babies.

I feel so bad for her. Losing child after child must have been heartbreaking.

A syndrome associated with migraines and miscarriage called anti cardiolipin antibody syndrome - and small strokes. Did she have headaches? It is believed to run in families if my memory serves. G

There's a statue of her as a princess in Queen Anne's County, Maryland. 😊

The question of inbreeding as a source of Anne's spectacularly unsuccessful and heartbreaking reproductive career has arisen. Anne's background is pretty diverse--her mother was as far as I can tell as unrelated to her father as it was possible to be in that day. However, she and George were 2nd cousins, once removed, via Anne of Denmark, James VI and I's queen, and George himself had considerable overlap in his ancestry. I don't know what problems, if any, might have found expression in childbearing due to these relationships. But I suppose that some royal couples with more genes in common than George and Anne reproduced successfully.

Today in history, Anne lost her miscarried son in 1687 and her stillborn daughter in 1694.

It wouldn't explain Anne's multiple miscarriages but I also heard that fear of disease caused many royals during that time to keep their children inside to avoid "bad air". This lead to vitamin D deficiency from lack of sunlight which further weakened the children's immune systems.

I wonder if things would have been different for Anne an a lot of other women who had multiple miscarriages and children that died in infancy if they’d been given a break by themselves and society and waited a couple years at least before trying again. Same with girls being forced to marry and start having kids as young as 12. Ie Margaret Beaufort who never had more children after the difficult birth of Henry VII.

Found dark meaning, Queen Anne helped ritters and bradfords "my gmas fam" sail to America on the may flower, she also was a virgin having no kids.. why we popping her cherrys? Lol

Appared me can't blame in to be mad about complicates feelings and opinions in the future afterwards her pregnancies I mean to be fair she tried very hard and

even when she wasn't trying hard she just happened to just have really good thoughts of getting pregnant it's just keeping the pregnancies and keeping her children safe from basically everything during that time without being on

overbearing parent over her children at a young age and keep them safe was not easy thing during that time and by the time she became the Queen of England I think it's fair to say that her body physically

could not handle it anymore if she kept trying and her body would have had an even harder time she probably would not have been able to get out of bed at all

during certain points for longer periods than she had to deal with her later years as Queen and the stories just get a little more harder on her when it comes to her health yes as much as I don't like saying this and I actually don't she was not always the best

person in the world but she was a loving human in her own way regardless she was very very salty about the situation with her mother-in-law and say it's hard to believe her words when it came to her opinion of

her half-brother would be hard to believe but to be fair or at least some part and case she had a lot going on her plate she had tried so hard and her sister as well that is understandable that she had very

much fixed opinions even when she tried being flexible about no situations about the future of the Royal crown even if she had no interest in giving it up to entirely new dynasty I can even see how she was

in deep denial even if she devoted herself as much as she could realistically with her health issues I think like Queen Anne was one of those royalties that is understood have been a queen of descent rule but

little is known about her besides that she had so many children if that's even known I know more people knowing about her weight issues and that she was stuck in a really hard place with her family with a

revolution let's see trying to keep the royal religion at balance with being Protestant and stuff more so than her many pregnancies only that she had hard time most the time I hear from people at least from the United States may not be familiar with her history of pregnancy issues or

that she may have just not able to conceive at all or at her cases then her situation of being a little little known of about her being Queen of England for a short period well it wasn't too short but it

was not one of the longest certainly much more like than the shorter periods of queens and kings of the United Kingdom but it was certainly not the shortest and more or less the scandals of her love life with her husband and her so-called

mistress I'm not beneath believing Ann was by certainly not but we clearly know she did love her husband and if she was not deeply in love with him she certainly was genuinely close and she was not

afraid to go into the bedroom with him she probably did enjoy it nonetheless or enjoyed his company will trying for what it's worth Queen Anne I believe if she wanted to have more living children if

another reality I still think she would have been a very loving caring mother maybe not mother of the year I am going to be reserved when it comes to trials of royalty and the ruling monarch of the time but I would not dare say that she would not love her children genuinely and I still think she

loved them no matter what and I think she's extremely a strong woman for trying so hard after so much heartbreak and I definitely believe that this really tainted her opinion on any possible heirs after her and her sister but regardless of her negative

opinions I do think she tried very hard to serve Parliament as much as she could in a realistic value whether she was a liberal or not I want to learn more about her for not just her pregnancies and her salty

opinion of her family but I want to know her her beliefs what she did do and want to know more about her and her father to some degree honestly and I would actually really like to know more about her and her

husband was their marriage troubled was their marriage good did they love each other like a traditional couple or is it did it seem more like that or not she seemed to have a more healthy relationship with him regardless their physical health is not the

best but I think they're compassion towards each other was possibly more that way I know about the situation about her rumors of her being by sexual may not be true she may have been but those rumors about her were likely to be false

doesn't mean the queen could not buy does not mean that she was not straight either she has enough on her plate she does not need more bad business on her memory if her existence she's clearly a

very flawed person but not of her personal situation of journey trying to become a mother regardless of the situation queen or not or purely trying to produce a healthy air and just a child she would want to put

in this world and love but as a human being not just a royal figure and that's one of the things I like about her she was not the most down to earth person but when you did see that side of her regardless of

her questionable opinions she has had good notes about her I believe she had to get sense of humor when when it was funny and I just meet our lens of our personal idea funny but her lens of what

was humorous and what she did do when she tried working with Parliament in regardless of the controversial times with the left wing or right wing political situations

And ask for Ann's sister Mary the second I can genuinely say that I feel bad for Mary for what happened as well just because you can get pregnant at a young age especially in your teens does not mean

you should and I'm not just saying it for the sake of moral reasons there is a biological reason why it's considered still a part of your not trying to get into trigger words here there's a reason why you're not

finished growing in your teen years just because you're not physically growing up I like getting taller or something does not mean you should get pregnant at a young age like that your body is still physically

maturing and other ways yes on average women do mature faster than men but the bodies still hormonally balancing itself out in maturity and I think that maybe one of the reasons why you may have been so hard for Mary to get pregnant after her

teens and may of course even more permanent damage to her body plus who knows with her getting sick during that time I don't know much about Queen Mary the second rain to be completely honest and I'm not trying to judge her harshly for

getting pregnant so young they were in a during a situation where that was considered normal and even when it was not considered normal she was both trying to produce an air herself it's not exactly an easy situation to judge completely fairly

without considering the fact that just because you can hypothetically get pregnant does not mean you should get pregnant that young there are biological reasons for it some women are lucky

enough to be able to prove some people wrong with that but we're also in the age of medical science where we can hypothetically be able to heal from that or lessen the harm to be fair like then they

had no idea and even if they had any idea that getting pregnant that young and having so many right after each other could cause harm to the body if the mother did not give herself a break I highly doubt it back then but I do think the idea of her having a restful period of time before

trying again could have helped a little bit I mean back to back your body is not giving itself chance to recover from everything I think one of the reasons why Anne's body was had such a hard time not just the time and era I think that was one of the main

points but the constant back-to-back pregnancy even her husband and her tried to not do it too often there was possibly high chance that would not have affected anything but that may have given an a

maybe a small just small window of a possibility of having healthy pregnancy or less complications with her and her child but like I said during the times a lot of weird answers as to how a woman's

pregnancy works was pretty Ludacris back then but the fact that there's her doctors had any clue that her blood vessels for having hard time getting to the child or that there were some connection I won't

deny he's actually pretty amazing during the time so at least and had definitely had doctors that were investigating honest possibilities not just oh she was harmed by the devil answer even if that was the possibility behind closed doors in their

opinion like I said you can have an honest handful of Truth a possibilities that could lead up to a real medical question of sense and still have an entire bag of ludicrous answers

I did some research about the gestations of each child, some are unknown. Here are the actual results:

1. Stillborn Girl (1684)
2. Mary (1685-1687)
3. Anne Sophia (1686-1687)
4. Miscarried Boy (1687)
5. Stillborn Boy (1687)
6. Miscarried Child (1688)
7. William (1689-1700)
8. Mary (1690) lived 2 hours
9. George (1692) lived a few minutes
10. Miscarried Girl (1693)
11. Stillborn Girl/Child (1694)
12. Miscarried or stillborn Girl (1696)
13. Twins: Stillborn Boy and Miscarried Child (1696)
14. Miscarried Child (1697)
15. Twins: Miscarried Boy or Child and Miscarried Boy or Child
16. Miscarried Boy (1698)
17. Stillborn Boy (1700)

This was such an interesting and sad video.

Queen Anne’s story is definitely a sad one. Yes infant and childhood mortality was a lot higher then but it’s hard to imagine as a parent myself the pain Anne and George must have experienced losing all 18 of their children. The oldest one only lived to be 11. I honestly think that if she had any other titles other than heir presumptive and Queen, her and her husband would have stopped trying to have children at some point because it was too painful. But being as she was the Queen and last surviving Stuart I’m sure the pressure of duty to produce a living heir was immense.

"No English queen ever endured as much in the quest for an heir as Anne" -- Cue Anne Boleyn angrily picking her head up out of a basket to protest.

i imagine she probably went mad with grief. like quite literally

I can’t imagine losing 17 children. Anne had to have been horrified with the loss of so many children. May those children Rest In Peace

At a guest it's quite possible that she was diabetic and unregulated blood sugars can increase your risk of both a miscarriage and a stillbirth and given later symptoms both the skin and the joint issues this would also tally with that.

Et l hypothèse de la consanguinité ? Y a aussi l hypothèse d une incompatibilité génétique mais c'est peu probable si cette pauvre femme est allée jusqu'au terme. Je pense aussi au diabète...
Très bon documentaire !!

Love your videos

Jesus, the casual fatphobia and ableism in the video is something else.

Rh factors,bad inbred genetics, STDs,struggle genes and bad womb. . That's why Wade vs Roe because these type woman have low fertility and are struggling producing non sick kids. They are concerned about their future on this Earth. 🤦🙆🤷

👏👏👏

I'm Rh negative and my first pregnancy was twin boys and I lost them at 5 months. Then I had my daughter and she's my only child and she will be 15 soon. I can't imagine going through that 14 times.

Gosh that list 💔 so many little souls not Given a chance
