The film The Favourite depicts Queen Anne engaged in lesbian relations with both Sarah Churchill and Abigail Hill. Does this have any basis in history or is it just a fanciful creation of the scriptwriter?

In case of the movie it's generally a good idea to remember that director Yorgos Lanthimos said that they intentionally went for a narrative and presentation that was more fiction than accurate.
