Acts of Union, two of her realms, the kingdoms of England and Scotland, united as a single sovereign state, the Kingdom of Great Britain. She continued to reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death.
Anne was plagued by ill-health throughout her life. From her 30s onwards, she grew increasingly lame and corpulent; brought on by a lifelong overindulgence in food and drink and worsened by 17 or 18 ill-fated pregnancies (only one of her children lived past infancy, and he died at the age of 12). Anne, was married to Prince George of Denmark since 1683, (from Fact Monster)
