Olav V was 14th in the line of succession to the British throne on the 21st November 1938. Assume the following changes: Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester killed in France in May 1940. Prince George, Duke of Kent dies in cocaine overdose in late 1920s; hushed up by royal family. Mary, Princess...

With Elizabeth marrying Philip, it marked the last instance of the British monarchy marrying relatively close to their station... what if that wasn't the case? Who would Liz and Phil's kids marry, if their spouses required titles themselves? How about William and Harry (other, lower down the...

Hey all, So, George VI refused to leave Buckingham during the Blitz, opting instead to stay in London with his subjects. On 13 September 1940, the King and Queen were very nearly killed, when a German bomb exploded in the courtyard at Buckingham Palace while they were still there. What would...

So, everyone remembers the kerfuffle that was the year of 1979, when Prince Philipp entered a coma after falling over a balcony in Buckingham (of which he would wake up only in 1988), the British Government and economy were in basically freefall (fromw what I understand, I'm not actually...

Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to abolish the British Monarchy with a POD after January 1st 1918. But you have to avoid a POD in 1936 or a POD involving Mosley/Nazis.

I have a question about Prince Phillip. wish had been a casualty in WWII? He could have been killed at the Battle of Crete or perhaps more interestingly, the Battle of Okinawa, it doesn't really matter where he is killed. It is well documented that Her Majesty has only loved him, that she met...

So I started watching The Crown on Netflix; a few episodes in, and I already have several AH questions: What if George VI had died in surgery a few months before his OTL death (September 1951)? More generally, would anything have changed if Elizabeth II had started her reign under a Labour...
