Queen Anne of England passed away

Anne ascended the throne and became Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland on March 8, 1702. On March 1, 1707, the Act of Union was finalized, uniting the two kingdoms of England and Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. She continued to rule in the name of Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death.

Anne was the second daughter of James II and VII and Queen Anne Hyde. In 1683, he married Prince George of Denmark. In 1701, the British Parliament passed the Succession Act, confirming Anne as the heir to the British throne of William III and II. In 1702, Anne ascended the throne as Queen of England.

Since Queen Anne had no children, the throne would revert to James II and her lineage upon her death, and the fruits of the Glorious Revolution would fall short. In 1701, the British Parliament passed the Act of Succession to the Crown, which stipulated the principle of succession to the throne. The throne of the monarch is inherited from generation to generation, with sons taking precedence over daughters and daughters over nephews or nieces. In this way, the king has no sons but daughters, and then there will be a queen. In addition, if the male heir dies or gives up the throne, and he has no other heir, the daughter of the monarch will also be the king. According to this regulation, after the death of Princess Anne, the throne was inherited by the granddaughter of King James I, the daughter of the late Queen Bohemi, Princess Sophia, the Elector of Hanover, and her Protestant descendants, and finally by Princess Sophia's son, German Maharaja George I.
