AHC: The British Empire lasts for a thousand years

'Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour".'

Your task is to make this a reality - have the British Empire last for one thousand years or more (assuming 1707 to be the starting point).

Bonus points if you can do this without having the Empire morph into a Commonwealth or Imperial Federation.

I've put in this in pre-1900 to allow for maximum flexibility.
 
Willy the Bastard conquers England and then deposes the king of France, who at this time is a child, and forms an Anglo-Norman/Anglais empire that persists until 2100 in a wildly different future.

and why wouldnt after a century or some time the kingdoms divide in 2 countries again?

A mixture of burning anyone who disagreed with the idea (the de Normandies' were not particularly known for their kindness) and, after a certain critical point, historical inertia.

well wouldnt the HRE would help french rebellions , i dont think a norman empire survive since the normans never imposed their culture to the people (not even in england)

the falling apart seems inevitable it has happend to every large kingdom in Europe that did not have cultural unification (this is why spain was still united)

also even if william becomes king of france , this does not mean he takes the whole country , the king of France was mostly a symbolic power and had true power in some areas , but the rest of the country was semi independent controlled by dukes and lords

who is to say that they wont become vassals and actually oppose the new king
