Queen Anne of Great Britain

1665-1714

She was the Queen of England from 1702-1714. Also Scotland.

At first those were two separate crowns, but in 1707, they decide to cut costs by merging the two countries into the United Kingdom.

Trivia: Queen Anne's Lace was probably named after her but no one knows why. The legend says that Queen Anne pricked her finger while making lace, and the blood droplet stained the white lace purple, but Daucus carota (wild carrot) wasn't called Queen Anne's lace until 1873, so the legend isn't even very old.

Olivia Colman won an Oscar for playing Queen Anne in The Favourite. Here's a picture of Olivia Colman naked.
