Her Terrible Stepmother Got Pregnant
As if Anne’s situation couldn’t get much worse that year, she learned that her horrible stepmother, Mary of Modena, was pregnant once more. Anne would most likely never get close to the throne if she produced a boy, thus the pregnancy couldn’t have happened at a worse moment.
With that, Anne began to wonder whether her stepmother was concealing anything. As her father and stepmother having been unable to conceive for some time, many people were surprised when Mary became pregnant shortly after the coronation. With a premise in mind, Anne decided to level an allegation, suggesting that Mary was lying about her pregnancy.
