Assuming the baby boy born to Princess Charlotte of Wales in 1817 survived, but the princess herself died, would he end up inheriting the throne of Hanover, or would he be passed over for Ernest Augustus because the descent was in the female line?
More to the point, the question of who get the nod (no Orleans of course, ant just about anyone within shouting distance of the senior Capet line is likely off the table.) for the crown if the Belgian revolt comes off....And there is another intresting butterfly. Charlotte's husband hardly will be king of the Belgians.
Only if his older brothers, Frederick of York, William of Clarence, and Edward of Kent, all die without legitimate male offspring. York is already married to an elderly woman, so it's probable that he remains heirless.Charlotte's son can't inherit Hanover because he is not direct male lineage. So Ernest August would still become king of Hanover and the baby will become king of United Kingdom. And there is another intresting butterfly. Charlotte's husband hardly will be king of the Belgians.
Too many butterflies. A Alexandria Victoria of Kent is possible if the same marriage is contracted, but....So do you think it's possible that Queen Victoria is still born ITTL?
