That's not correct at all. Anne's name was spelled with an 'e', but she was frustrated by people who left the 'e' off the end and spelled it Ann instead.
Spelling was much more fluid in Victorian times, and whether it was Anne or Ann, Katherine or Catherine etc didn't matter in the same way that it does now. Anne's fussing over the spelling would have been uncommon at that point.
