Queen Anne I has surviving children.

So, this is something I've been pondering alongside a great many other things recently.

Queen Anne who reigned from 1702, to her death in 1714, had a great many children from her husband George, Duke of Cumberland, but these children either died young or were stillborn, this consequently led to the Act of Settlement which removed up to 50 Catholics from the succession and placed Sophia of Hanover as Anne's heir.

Now, my query is this, if the following of Anne's children survive, what might the knock on effects be? This is assuming the following are born healthy, with minimal illness or disability:

Mary (b. 1685)
Anne Sophia (b. 1686)
William/Robert/ Alexander or Edward otl a stillborn son (b. 1687)
George (b. 1692)

Now with two sons and two daughters surviving onto when she ascends the throne, in 1702, what changes here? Would the Act of Settlement be avoided? Who might her respective children marry? What does this mean for any Jacobite rebellion efforts?
 
We have discussed this before and I think the major change will be on mainland not in England-Scotland. Hanover suddenly become much more irrelevant, which lead to changes in Great Northern War (Denmark likely gain Bremen-Verden), the relationship between England/UK and Denmark which was already close through the 18th century becomes much close (as the Oldenburgs rules boths now). Denmark may get English support to annex Gottorp-Holstein in the Great Northern War too. This mean that Denmark enter the 18th century much stronger and it will likely have a much activistic foreign policy. the Lower Saxon, Hessian and Mecklenburgian states will likely end up in Danish orbit and Denmark will likely be the main supplier of armies in the English conflicts in Europe. This change the entire power balance in the HRE and a stronger Denmark entering on English side in the Austrian Succession War may end up pretty badly for Prussia, even in OTL Denmark had the same size army as Prussia at that point in time, here Denmark will likely have bigger armies than in OTL and doesn't need to worry about Denmark being attacked (Sweden will likely try to invade Norway, it will not go well at that point).
 
What does this mean for any Jacobite rebellion efforts?

Well, on the one hand, they probably lose some support if there aren't "dirty foreign Germans" on the throne. But if the Act of Union (keeping in mind that one of the goals of the Act of Union was to impose the Act of Settlement on the Scots) still goes through they'll be able to draw on discontented Scots, as they did IOTL. And, in any case, there's still potential Catholic supporters in the Highlands.
 
Alright very interesting, a stronger Denmark as a balance to Prussia would be fascinating. And interesting, I do have my doubts about the Act of Settlement being applied here, with a strong Protestant succession already present.
