The union of two countries


The British and the French would talk of the Union even after the war and after the war, Elizabeth II her self should not marry a german, she is engaged to Prince Philip and the engagement was cancelled by the parliament on 1946 and chose another man who would marry her.


Winston Churchil and De Gaulle would decide that it is best not to marry Elizabeth II to a german or the union would not happen and instead they chose Alfonso, Duke of Cadiz and Anjou as her prospective husband who would be crowned as the Titular King of France in order for the wedding to push through.


Elizabeth herself would be okay as she would be under the rule of the parliament, the condition for the marriage would be that Alfonso, duke of Cadiz and Anjou would renounce his claims to Spain and convert to Anglicanism, the wedding would happen on January 10, 1950, she would be in charge more of the image of the two countries while her new husband,Alphonse II of France would be there in order to support her duties, after the marriage on February, the union of two countries was begun.


Note
If we have The Crown in this TL I imagine we would have Ryan Gosling to play as Alphonse II of France..in other movies, Alphonse II is played by Alec Baldwin.

Charles XI of France, son of Elizabeth II, took over the French throne in 1990 after his father's death..he is currently 60 years old, he is the first son Elizabeth II and Alphonse II of France..he is expected to take over the British throne on the death of his mother..[1]

1. Yeah...the OTL son of Alfonso, duke of Cadiz is a splitting image of Marco Rubio so I used him as the picture of his ATL son.

Phil's barely more German than Elizabeth herself - his father was Greek and his mother British, his grand parents on his mother's side are Austrian (although he was probably more British than most Brits considering he'd joined the Royal Navy at 14 and ended up as Admiral of the Fleet and First Sea Lord...) and British, on his father's side they're Greek and Russian.

I just can't see any issue with Princess Elizabeth marrying a Prince who's at least partly British, from a nation that was allied to the UK and who's been recognised for bravery while fighting with the Royal Navy.
 
I am confused. Is the Anglo-French union being created because of the marriage of Elizabeth to this French aristocrat, or is it just something that has followed on to seal the agreement?

In any case, I don't think this premise is very plausible. Political unions cemented by royal marriages is an idea that is well out of fashion by this point in history, and France had been a Republic for over seventy years at this stage, so most French people would fail to see what the marital arrangements of this Alphonse fellow would have to do with them. Plus I am not sure whether parliament even has the power to cancel a Royal Marriage-they would most likely provoke a constitutional crisis if they tried to do so.

That said, there is a semi plausible way of getting around an Anglo-French Union at around this time-Churchill proposed it during the Battle of France in 1940. If the offer were somehow accepted it would still be difficult to see the union lasting as a sovereign state past WW2, but not totally ASB.
 
Why would royal breeding plans be relevant to national mergers in the mid/late 20th century?

Why will France not immediately start shouting about any threat to the Republic so soon after WW2?

I agree this is almost ASB but aka implausible...
 
The French prétendant are private citizens, who they marry has no impact at all on the policies of the French Republic.
The French monarchy lost all rights to France with Henry in 1871
