When Anne Stuart was born in 1665, she was never expected to be a queen. Neither was her older sister, Mary. They were the nieces of the deposed King Charles II and spent much of their childhood in France. Although their father was a Catholic, he raised his daughters as Protestants. Charles was returned to power, and then Ann’s father ascended to the throne as James II. Meanwhile, Mary married William of Orange and moved to Holland. When James was deposed for his Catholicism, Mary and William were sent for to reign over England. When they died without an heir, Anne and her husband George became the monarchs, on March 8, 1702. What did she achieve as Queen? Anne created the United Kingdom by putting Scotland under control of the Crown and, by working with a two-party Parliament, she became the more modern type of Queen that we have today. But what makes her ‘Good Queen Anne’ to me, was her welcoming of French Huguenots [Protestants] to England since their religion was outlawed in France. The DeTurk branch of my family were given financial assistance and helped to move to the English colony of New York. A family named deBenneville was ‘adopted’ by Anne, and she took a particular interest in their son George, advocating his advancement. He eventually moved to Pennsylvania and married into my mother’s family. Thus, due to Anne’s kindly and generous interventions, several branches of my family tree were preserved.

For Anne’s French childhood, we will enjoy a breakfast of French flavors. For dinner, a meal fit for a queen who enjoyed hunting at her Hampton Court palace.
