Sophia of Hanover, also known as Sophia of Palatinate, was the ‘Electress of Hanover’ (1692-98) and heir to the British throne under the ‘Act of Settlement 1701.’ In 1689, the ‘House of Commons’ refused to place Sophia in the line of succession. The matter went on for 11 long years until King William III, who was childless, fell ill. Sophia was the nearest ‘Protestant’ heir to the throne and after the ‘Act of Settlement 1701,’ she was officially set to sit on the throne. She looked over the affairs of England at the time of Queen Anne. However, a letter from an angry Queen Anne affected Sophia so much that it led to her death in 1714. Two months later, Anne also died, leaving Sophia’s son, George Louis, as the King of Great Britain. Sophia was known to be a well-educated intellectual, well-versed with arts, history, and other subjects. She was indeed the Queen Britain deserved.
