But Willy 2 was really not that popular anymore, and he was a stubborn man. If he wouldn't get all his powers back he might decide to decline the crown.

Wilhelm III is entirely legitimate. So long as Wilhelm II gives his blessing (and he'll be pressured to do so), his son becomes Kaiser and everybody breathes a bit easier because now they don't have a whackjob on the throne. I agree YWN; Wilhelm II was a stubborn, stupid megalomaniac. If he doesn't get all of his powers back, he'll likely refuse the throne altogether. But when the generals rumble "We can do this with or without you, we'd just like it better if there was a monarchy," then he'll probably say "fine, take my son and leave me in peace, you treacherous Jew bastard heathens."

That being said, if he doesn't give his blessing, Wilhelm III will likely decline the crown; he was entirely obedient to his father.
