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 him and began correspondence with him when she was 13. So, if he had died, what would have been the effect? Who would have Her Majesty Elizabeth II married in lieu of him? Would she have "needed" to be married by the time the Crown passed to Her? How would a alternate Consort effected her Reign?

I ask because I thought of writing a short story about an alternate scenario. I am not sure who an alternate suitors would have been. I am also interested in opinions on how long if at all that The Duke of Edinburgh has prolonged Her Majesty's Reign, if at all.
