Queen Anne: The Last Stuart Monarch

Prof. Suzannah Lipscomb sets the record straight about one of Britain's least known queens

Has history been unfair to Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch? Was she weak and easily led, or one of Britain’s most determined and underestimated monarchs?

Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Max Wintler, audio editor is Amy Haddow and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
