Hi all,

I am exploring an alternate history for a children's novel I am attempting to write. In this world Victoria and Albert were assassinated a few months after Princess Victoria was born. The Princess is then sent to live with her family in Belgium - King Leopold being Queen Victoria's uncle - for her own safety.

My question is.... what event would or could prevent the Princess Victoria returning to England to take up her position on the throne when she was deemed old enough? I need a reason that would prevent her from ever actually officially becoming Queen.

What would the consequences be of her marrying the Crown-Prince of Belgium and therefore becoming Queen of Belgium?
