 Anne was married to Prince George of Denmark and Norway , and in their six years of marriage Anne had been pregnant six times , but none of her children had survived . At the end of her seventh pregnancy , at 5 a.m. on 24 July 1689 , she was delivered of a son in Hampton Court Palace . As it was usual for the births of potential heirs to the throne to be attended by several witnesses , the King and Queen and " most of the persons of quality about the court " were present . Three days later , the newborn baby was baptised William Henry after his uncle King William by Henry Compton , Bishop of London . The King , who was one of the godparents along with the Marchioness of Halifax and the Lord Chamberlain , Lord Dorset , declared him Duke of Gloucester , although the peerage was never formally created . Gloucester was second in line to the throne after his mother , and because his birth secured the Protestant succession , he was the hope of the revolution 's supporters . The ode The Noise of Foreign Wars , attributed to Henry Purcell , was written in celebration of the birth . Other congratulatory odes , such as Purcell 's last royal ode Who Can From Joy Refrain ? and John Blow 's The Duke of Gloucester 's March and A Song upon the Duke of Gloucester , were to follow on his birthdays in later years . However , supporters of James , the Jacobites , spoke of Gloucester as " a sickly and doomed usurper " .

 Anne saw a belated opportunity to gain custody of Henry in 1603 when James left for London with the Earl of Mar to assume the English throne following the death of Elizabeth I. Pregnant at the time , Anne descended on Stirling with a force of " well @-@ supported " nobles , intent on removing the nine @-@ year @-@ old Henry , whom she had hardly seen for five years ; but Mar 's mother and brother would allow her to bring no more than two attendants with her into the castle . The obduracy of Henry 's keepers sent Anne into such a fury that she suffered another miscarriage : according to David Calderwood , she " went to bed in anger and parted with child the tenth of May .

 Anne 's second cousin George of Hanover ( her eventual successor ) visited London for three months from December 1680 , sparking rumours of a potential marriage between them . Historian Edward Gregg dismissed the rumours as ungrounded , as her father was essentially exiled from court , and the Hanoverians planned to marry George to his first cousin Sophia Dorothea of Celle as part of a scheme to unite the Hanoverian inheritance . Other rumours claimed she was courted by Lord Mulgrave ( later made Duke of Buckingham ) , although he denied it . Nevertheless , as a result of the gossip , he was temporarily dismissed from court .
