A slightly random question, but assuming minimal butterflies, assume for a moment that Robert Stuart, Duke of Kintyre and Lorne, had survived, married and had issue, and one of his children had married back into the mainline, if things apart from that had gone as otl, would at the time of the Restoration, would Robert's children, or perhaps grandchildren be considered an appropriate bride for say Mary, daughter of James II? And in other circumstances, as a potential candidate in the succession should something like a GLorious Revolution happen?

For instance:

Robert Stuart, Duke of Kintyre and Lorne (b.1602: d.1649) m ?

Issue:

Charles Stuart, Duke of Kintyre and Lorne (b.1630) m Princess Anne (b.1637)

Issue: Robert Stuart (b.1661)

Alternatively, if that seems too implausible, what possible consequences could a surviving Robert Stuart, and if he has family, have on England, Scotland and Ireland?
