I know. I know many women who would envy having a husband like him, who truly loved Anne.

Most husbands were loving back then...they just felt the urge to extend their loving to other women as well

@@jjrj8568 hhhaha Nice!🤣

@@jjrj8568if only they cheated and not abused their wives

Yeah that is so sad

I'm amazed at how she overcame so many diseases and miscarriages. Definetly a strong woman.

Iam healthy bitchh.my name not Ann.Ania are other wamon was lliving saudia and I had no contact somepeople I knew they knew

She was pretty in the face.

Yes she was pretty

Yeah, that’s a lot of damage. She must have been pregnant almost her whole life.

@Alicia >"She was not a pretty sight"< Having children takes a toll on a woman's body. She was pregnant 17 times in an era when there was little knowledge about medicine, nutrition and diseases. It was also an era that did not have the so-called "miracle drugs" (antibiotics) Infant and maternal death rates were very high Back then (no matter one's wealth) only one of every four people born, survived to adulthood.

She was a big nothing they don’t have photos then

Yes she had "dropsy" which was the old term for oedema. Poor woman for all her money her life was sad.

That’s me with Hypothyroidism. I can easily put on weight if I don’t take a medication called levothyroxine.

@@nadinesmith-jensen7732 I absolutely hated when I had hypothyroidism. Mine made me so so cold even on a hot summer day.

@@lovetobe6118 gosh isn’t that one of the weirdest symptom??? My husband jokes that I’m like a grandma!!!

@@nadinesmith-jensen7732 My husband think it is ridiculous that I ran around wearing a winter coat in the summer. I am luckily no longer dealing with hypothyroidism anymore and don't have to take meds anymore. Yesterday I was complaining about how hot it is and my husband just said I should be grateful I am no longer freezing in the summer. Men, what can you do but love them.

And perhaps not nearly as stupid as the wicked Sara said she was.

She was a very good queen , monarch and person. Probably too good to run in D.C had she lived in a republican system Her main flaw was she became jealous of her sister with whom she never reconciled. Mary II was also a very good queen.

Yes i'm English and Anne gets rather overshadowed by her more eccentric and colourful relatives in our History lessons. Actually I don't think they even study the Stuarts anymore.

Why would you think that ' pretty people ' don't have integrity? Being pretty can be a burden. Men are intimidated and you don't get approached .

@@amyaaron7141 The only men who are intimidated by attractive women are those lacking in self confidence.

@@amyaaron7141 They never said pretty people never have integrity… They were commenting on how physical appearance doesn’t at all reflect inner beauty.

monarchs had no real friends. Just sycophants.

a couple of her friends were her lesbian lovers

​@@SkyeID More propaganda spread by the same people who think Queen Charlotte and Phillipa of Hainault were African.

@@herpaderp-bp4pe Make up was certainly around,it dates back to pre history in many different forms.I am glad someone else doesn't think her ugly.And why do you think Charles ugly & scarey?

Makeup existed. But 17 miscarriages will take the sparkle, blush, confidence, joy, and girlishness out of any woman. Nevermind a woman who's very public prime directive was partially to make a male heir.

She wasn't ugly at all... beautiful big brown eyes and expression.

Sarah Churchill used to be Queen Anne's closest friend. Sarah then stabbed her in the back metaphorically, later in life. Being treated like this by your best friend is very painful when you have only tried to be good to them. I know this from experience.

eNDOMITRIOIS,...cystic fibrosis....pcos...

My grandmother had 17 children. They all lived except the first two and she never had any of those conditions that you speak of.

@@doe729 But your grandmother had the benefit of 20th century medicine and likely had access to pre and post natal care to some extent. You can't compare that to a Queen who was born in the 17th century and died in 1714! There's no comparison, even if she was Royal and had the best care of her era - which isn't saying much!

@Julz and it plays a big role in weight gain and weight loss.

She wouldn't have gotten fistulas from miscarriages. The fetuses might have been the size of an egg or less.

I think she looked stunning as a young girl. Beautiful eyes and mouth. But so many health issues, pregnancies and heartbreaking miscarriages would take their toll on the loveliest woman.

no .. that wasn't the year 2022

People are invariably mean to good natured people who try to do their best, no matter what century they live in.

And still are.

I think life has always been difficult for royals. Today, it's probably a bit better for them, but historically, sure, you're well fed, housed, and clothed, but you're also highly likely to be beheaded by this rival or that, blamed for war, be the cause of a war, demanded to produce sons, denied a normal healthy childhood, always wear uncomfortable clothing, I mean the list is just neverending. One of my favourite book series is the Gormenghast Trilogy, and it chronicles the most recent generation of a fictitious royal family. And one theme that winds its way through this weird, twisted series is the amount of tradition, most of it nonsense, that has to be strictly adhered to every day, and is so abundant and time-consuming, it's pretty much the only thing members of the royal family have time to do in a day. And sure, it's a very bloated, warped, and bizarre portrait of royal traditional activities, but it really does illustrate just how much time these poor people were required to waste in order to honour the Family and the House. I really felt sorry for royals after reading these books.

I actually think she was pretty too.

I was thinking that,too. In some of her portraits,you can see that she had hormonal imbalance. The shape of her face,the flushing. She had childhood arthritis,among other things. It's unfortunate that there was no medicinal teas, like the kind in Chinese or Ayurvedic medicine in those days. It could have made a difference for her.

Be happy you can't, I can because I went through something very similar. 22nd September 2008. Her 22nd birthday.

It probably was even harder because the child was 11, they had lived past the early few years where most parents during those times would expect a child to die. Anne likely thought she was out of the woods and no longer had to fear losing her only surviving child.

She has a one year old and two year old who died close together, both of smallpox, as well. Her husband almost died then but he lived.

He was wasn’t her only one to survive birth she had 2 daughters that died of smallpox as toddler’s within days of each other.

Yes indeed it's amazing that any of the Eleanor Crosses still endure. It shows Edward I wasn't the simple pantomime villain of Braveheart. Medieval rulers had to be ruthless to survive. But that wasn't all they were as human beings.

@@thedativecase9733 I agree! I think he was a good king, overall. She was a great queen and their mutual love is inspiring.

My great, great grandmere had 17 babies. 12 lived. That is definitely not a family tradition I'm gonna carry on. Good goobly goo

My mother had 18 I was number 13 12 survived into adulthood. My Mother had a baby from age 17 to age 42.

Think a vagina that can launch a mk14 torpedo and you'll be close. Then there's the disintegrating and softening lower back discs with collagen changes and the interesting organs in strange places and potentially odd reactions to random smells 😳🤮

I doubt all of them would have been full term

My mom is one of 17 children.

Its a shame she even got pregnant at that point. Like better for your body to just reject the embryo flat out.

Lupus is a terribly debilitating condition.

Illnesses were not much understood back then, much less named.

She had a little carriage made so she could hunt.

I very much agree!!

Average+confidence+joide vie=cute. Average+sadness/+poor health=ugly

What is considered beauty or ugly varies widely across cultures and even in the same location over time.

I think Anne was quite beautiful. She had pretty eyes, lovely hair, and a nice figure.

Beauty is in the eye of beholder is the most bullshit statement. You guys keep saying bullshit statement like that but once someone make mistake, you guys started body shaming or moch her apperance. Double standart. Disgusting.

😂 I've heard that Lizzie I was hideous in her later years.

I think Charles II said that

@@mango2005 I thought it was Charles that said it but when I checked on google the answer came back James II . Just tried a different search engine and this one came up with Charles which just goes to prove you shouldn't trust the internet .

Thick > Thin (IMHO) but everyone has their tastes

Who must have also had undiagnosed and untreated health problems of her own.

@Martin Bryant Would you say that beauty standards were more strict in the 1600's-1700's than today?

Prince George was overweight and that contributed to Anne’s miscarriages? What?

Yes, there are a few portraits of Queen Anne with her young son Prince William, Duke of Gloucester. He was a very sweet faced little boy. It's sad that he died so young.

I don't know about weight causing miscarriages, but what health issues did he have?

Seventeen pregnancies, and in an era where physical exertion was frowned upon for women...I don't think she had much chance of gaining muscle or physical fitness. And yeah, chronic diseases suck.

@@AnoraJohnson That is a good point. Pregnancy looks pretty hellish.

Yes please!

She lost 2 toddler daughters as well, to smallpox. At the same time. Video is wrong.

Yes one of my earlier videos was on the Duchess of Devonshire: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bpmYf710x7G2iX0.html

Most historians do not believe that Queen Anne was a lesbian. Many aspects of the movie were totally inaccurate.

Add Porphyria to Lupus. I have not been able to walk since Christmas.
