Queen Anne's heirs don't miscarry or die. The Danish king and his heirs but for Anne's Proginy die.

Just out of curiosity, how long could such a union realistically last? And if it does happen, would it result in any kind of societal, linguistic or religious change? I'd certainly hope so under the circumstances, given the historical links between the English and Danes.
Also, what would the other Scandinavians think of such a union in, say, the 17th. Century?

Sweden would go absolutely insane. A united Denmark-Norway-England would be a major threat to Sweden's power and would ensure Denmark's dominance of Scandinavia. I could see Sweden declaring war to prevent it from happening. Whether or not that would stop it, however, depends on the other great powers: France, Spain, Russia. Russia and Denmark had...somewhat amicable relations if memory serves, and Russia wouldn't mind a credible western counter-balance to Sweden.
I don't see France and Spain being much exited about the prospect, though.
