Alternate Wife for Peter III

Let's say that Catherine and Peter never get married or even engaged, who would Peter III end up marrying?
 
Maybe one of the youngest daughters of George II (even to be a little older than him)?

Albeit I don't know how much was Elizabeth in relation with London to arrange a possible marriage...

I know her vice chancellor Bestuzhev really wanted to ally with Britain, so that's a good possibility.
 
I think Louisa might be a good choice.

Same here. She is if royal blood, would bring better relations with England, and is quite fertile. Of the royal breeding stock, she's one of the better choices. The only problem I could see is the religious issues, but that is a problem that could be solved by a simple conversion.
 
I understood that the candidate Bestuzhev favoured was Maria Anna of Saxony who later married the Elector of Bavaria. The two of them never had any children so there might have been fertility problems. However the problem might have been with Maria Anna's husband, and she was an influential and popular figure in Bavaria so could have been a good Empress had she married Peter.

I believe that Empress Elizabeth was against the match as 1) she did have a connection with the Holstein Gottorp family of which Catherine the Great was a member, both through her sister and through her own long dead fiance. I also think that she wanted Peter to marry a minor royal so that if she didn't suit she could easily be sent home/divorced etc without her family causing too many problems. As Maria Anna's father was both Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, and as one of her sisters was married to the future King of Spain and another to the Dauphin of France that probably wouldn't have been the case with her.
 
I'm wondering if a different wife means that Pyotr lives longer. That said, if the alliance with Prussia (and by extension Britain) holds, could he try (considering Louise of Britain might be too high profile for Elizabeth's tastes) for an English (one of George III's sisters) or a Prussian princess (OTL princess of Orange) for his heir?

As for bride possibilities, a princess of Hesse-Kassel (daughters of Maximilian) are relatively unimportant but well connected (sisters are a Prussian princess, a Holsteiner duchess and Peter's own sister-in-law, the princess of Anhalt-Zerbst, niece of the Swedish king and cousin of the prince of Orange and the future landgrave - both of whom are married to Hannoverian princesses).
