Anne Hyde was a popular and charming woman who became pregnant by James, the future King of England, while he was still married to his brother's wife. She had to reveal their secret marriage and face the scandal and hostility of the court.
Lord Clarendon was at that time living with his wife and four children at Breda, in a house which the Princess Royal had assigned him; and was, in the first instance, very much averse from the honour proposed; but, at the instance of the King and his sister, he eventually accepted the offer with much thankfulness and humility.

Here the duchess is shown in a copper-coloured gown, with her right hand fingering her flowing tresses of hair. There are two other very similar portraits of Anne in the Royal Collection (RCINs 405508, 404080), but this is the highest in quality, showing particular delicacy in the painting of the silk dress.
The marriage was opposed by both the dukes mother, the Dowager Queen Henrietta Maria, who viewed Anne as a commoner, and the duchesss father, who feared accusations of rampant ambition in marrying his daughter to royalty.
Anne Hyde was the first wife of James II and the mother of Mary II and Queen Anne. She was a patron of Sir Peter Lely and a convert to Catholicism. See her portraits and related people and places.
