Wikipedia
According to James, Anne had written to him in 1696 requesting his permission to succeed William, and thereafter promising to restore the Crown to James's line at a convenient opportunity ; he declined to give his consent.
If she did write, she was probably trying to ensure her own succession by attempting to prevent a direct claim by James.
