So far this is an outline timeline, but I have plans...
THE QUEEN OF LIBERTY
Queen Anne II
born 12 May 1686
OTL died 2 Feb 1687
had she lived would have been eclipsed for a while by her younger brother
William, Duke of Gloucester (1689 - 1700)
After his death she would revert to being heir, aged 14
Assume she is married as soon as is decent, aged 16
1702, to whom could she be wed?
Has to be a Protestant
Christian August of Holstein-Gottorp aged 29
looking for a wife
otl married a princess of Baden in 1704
Christian of Hannover
b 1671
OTL killed in battle 1703
younger brother of George, OTL George I of Britain
so a good part-British bloodline
Charles of Denmark
second son of Christian V
born 1680
otl died 1705
her first cousin
Charles Leopold of Mecklenburg
born 1678 died 1747
OTL married 1716 to Catherine of Russia
dtr of Ivan V
These seem the most likely candidates
We could be ironic and fix it
Have her marry Charles of Denmark
despite him being 1st cousin
but he goes and dies in 1705
she's had a miscarriage
(runs in the family, and very close relations)
She is then married off to Charles Leopold of Mecklenburg
the other possibles from 1702 either being dead or married by 1705
Anne II is plagued by the same problems as her mother
but has a healthy dtr as first child from Charles Leopold
after that weak infants or miscarriages
until she succumbs in 1714 aged only 28
but had 10 babies
of whom only 1 survives
Queen Sophia
born 1706
aged 8
Charles Leopold is denied the Regency by parliament
tho he is allowed to be his daughter's keeper
but the Regency of the country goes to the Duke of Southampton
b 1662
eldest illegitimate heir of Charles II
no children
on his 2nd marriage
aged 52
d 1730
Sophia comes to her majority in 1724
Southampton has been reasonably successful
both abroad in wars
and at home in keeping things calm
Sophia is bright but wayward
has been chaffing at the bit
esp since her 16th birthday seeing other European custom
not about to meekly marry who parliament might want
and thanks her Regent and father but sends them into retirement
tho she visits both every now and then in friendship
She is a guiding force in getting rid of Walpole, PM since 1721
Replaces him with Viscount Bolingbroke (b 1678)
who is created Earl 1726, Duke 1730
She refuses to marry during the rest of the 1720s
tho she takes lovers
sometimes discretely
at other times not so
These include Vere Beauclerk
grandson of Charles I
younger son of 1st Duke of St Albans (d 1726)
brother of the 2nd
a naval officer
by whom she has an illegitimate dtr
named Diana after Vere's mother
born 1726
Bolingbroke's services in shielding Queen Sophia earn him his earldom
She avoids further such complications
and dallies with the great and the lesser
destroying the marriage of 3rd Duke of Rutland (b 1696)
and driving another lover to suicide
This event in 1730 almost destroys her
The (1st) Duke of Dorset is utterly besotted by her
He is 42 and she is 24
His wife has died and he has high hopes which she encourages
1830 she throws him over for a younger model
shockingly young
Thomas Thynne, 2nd Viscount Weymouth is 20
pushy and ambitious
Dorset shoots himself in public
and has mailed a suicide note to a gazette
Bolingbroke is able to seize this
in so doing burning down the gazette's offices/shop
and covers things up
though rumours abound
and most London scandal-mongers know the truth
Sophia tires of Weymouth within a few months
angry that his naked ambition outweighs his love for her
and in January 1731 he is executed for treason
lese majestie being entered but not diseminated
the newly raised Duke of Bolingbroke sorting it out for her
Sophia at last decides to marry
now aged 25
with 1 illegitimate dtr
and over a dozen lovers behind her
She determines to hook her 35 year old Catholic cousin
recently bereaved from a childless marriage
the heir to the Duke of Berwick
James Francis Fitz-James Stuart
born 1696
and grandson (by illegitimate descent) of James II
With his father's backing he accepts her invitation to London in July 1731
where he is feted as visiting royalty
with Bolingbroke managing the celebrations
and largesse dispensed to the poor who are thus inclined to turn out
and cheer their unknown visitor
Parliament is furious
but are well aware that Sophia is the ONLY royalty of Great Britain
the nearest others being Charles II's bastards' and their dukedoms
or the rulers of Hannover, who had once seemed near
but now seem a lot more distant
The spectre of a Catholic succession complicates things
the putative James III and VIII born 1688
living in exile and condemning his nephew's visit
as well as his half-brother's backing for the visit
Many assume (or understand) that James Francis Edward is not so much dishgusted, as he is worried
If Berwick's son were to marry the Queen, then most of his own support would wither
He only gains from constant antagonism between Jacobites and British
