Wait, what?
I doubt the Bolsheviks would care about the race of the Tsarina when they executed her...
What if Queen Victoria had married Marthinus Wessel Pretorius instead of Prince Albert?

Man, alternative history fans really hate poor Alice. Probably they lob everything wrong with Nicholas on her which boy... isn't that a really baseless hot take.
The idea was more along the lines of butterflying away Russo-Japanese war as we know it. Bolsheviks are rather obscure as of year 1900.
But still, the point about "this is not EU4" stands.

1772 Royal Marriages Act, which would require the Sovereign to grant approval, and if Victoria is Sovereign then she could grant herself approval. But, the whole thing flies in the face of what Victoria was like as a person as well as societal expectations of the time.
I think purely technically The British monarch is Anglican in England, Wales and Ireland, while the moment they cross the border to Scotland, they becomes Reformed. I don’t think any Protestant husband would be a problem, and there’s the precedence of George of Denmark the husband of Queen Anne of England staying a Lutheran, but again he was a prince.

Ethnically they are Dutch, but in a language that is different from Dutch
Remember that Holland was very sympathetic to the Boers
They intended to ally with Germany because of their anger at the actions of the British
The Dutch Prince can become the Church of England
Uh...foreign prince consorts were still viewed with suspicion up until the days of Philip of Edinburgh
Don’t believe that is the case. They aren’t actually the head of the Calvinist Church of Scotland.
Like even then Victoria's not gonna marry into a kingdom on the ass end of Africa when the clear benefits of Europe are right next to her. That was why the slogan 'European Prince or Naught' was popular during her husband choosing daysYou all know the only recourse for this premise:
why was that a slogan, isn’t that just an expectation that goes without saying. Were there even any alternatives to European prince
So do we all, but they didn't understand it as well as we do now back then. And the Queen Mother was suitable to be Duchess of York, not Queen. No one expected the Abdication Crisis when Bertie and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon married in 1923. Had Bertie been the heir to the throne at the time of his marriage, you can be damn well sure he'd have married a foreign Princess, not a Scottish Earl's daughter.
Nice, I’ll add it to the directory of implausible AH ideas, justified by voluminous amounts of inapplicable research, that own.
It was a slogan against a domestic match that was wanted by a not so small minority.
Not the head, just an ordinary (if very high social rank) attendee at Church of Scotland services. Both when resident at Balmoral on holiday or in Edinburgh on official business.
I don't know whether she takes Communion when doing so. AIUI this is usually a quarterly event for CoS Kirks and her visits might not match the schedule at the ones she attends.

They weren’t especially closely related, the genetic risk for their children were marginal larger than if she had married some random person.
