AHC: American Monarchy, British Republic

King Charles I, flees to his American colonies, set up the United Kingdoms of America, while Oliver Cromwell, is the Lord Protector of English Commonwealth.

After the death of Cromwell, an election started between the councillor of England to choose the new head of state.

An English monarchy in exile might work in the South (Maryland, Virginia, and the future Carolinas and Georgia), but not in the heavily Puritan New England colonies, which supported Cromwell.
 
Another possibility is some sort of Republican revolution happening in the United Kingdom in an ATL where the Thirteen Colonies are kept, or where they're reformed a la Look to the West.
 
There are several timelines in which the USA becomes a monarchy. So in one of those timelines, have a revolution occur in the UK, and the UK will be a republic.
 
I would like you to try to make the US a monarchy, and the UK a republic.

IOTL there were some people post-AWI who wanted the new country to get itself a monarch, whilst the British monarchy went through a period of not inconsiderable unpopularity during the mid-19th century. Have the American monarchists and British republicans both become more influential, and bam, OP fulfilled.

But Cromwell will not send troops to New England, when he is fearing his own stability in England, while Charles will be more then happy to wage war against the Puritans who deny his god given right.
 
Perhaps two failures? There is no Independence in North America, and the Royal Navy looses a decisive battle against Napoleon? I'm not sure either of those is highly likely though, especially the second one.

IOTL, Virginia and Maryland were some of the colonies that refused to recognize Cromwell until he sent over troops. New England was the reverse, with the New England colonies sending troops to England to fight on behalf of Cromwell and the Roundheads. If Cromwell as willing to send troops to secure the monarchist Southern colonies, why wouldn't he defend the Puritan New England colonies? Besides, at this point, Charles has bigger problems.

More to the point, New England has its own militia, and Virginia's ability to conquer the place is questionable at best. Virginia doesn't even have a land border and can't get there without going through Dutch territory, and has enough problems with Maryland's puritan settlers.

True, New York is still Dutch and Virginia can't actually conquer New England. They're probably still going to have problems defending themselves from Cromwell's England.
 
In 1936 the Prince of Wales and Wallace Simpson move to the USA before they announce their engagement. Unwilling to break the rules of "The Firm" David, George VI IOTL, supports his brother, but working class puritanism, combined with the economic situation, turns the Jarrow March into a national rebellion. The USA backs the idea of an American Queen and so one State creates a nominal amendment to its constitution recognising the King and Queen but granting them no political role. However, this too changes as around the Old World and South America the two sides of the political divide are seen as Monarchism vs Bolshevism. The UK abolishes the monarchy, and the Windsors as a whole move to the USA. By 1970 the Windsors are nominally King and Queen of the USA but have no power, the UK is a republic and the centre of a power block called the European Union.

Not very likely, but...
