In our timeline, the United States achieved it's independence, and there was almost a crown offered to General Washington, who would have likely turned it down (and did state to the Army who wanted it that he was uninterested), and became President anyway. Of potential candidates, there were four possibilities as agreed upon by most modern American monarchists:

One was Prince Charles, a Jacobite living in Tuscany at the time of the end of the United States. The next would be Prince Heinrich, the brother to the regnant Frederick the Great. Third was George Washington, the ever famous general.

The Fourth? The fourth son of the very King they fought against. The Duke of Kent...

and father to HRH Queen Victoria (1837-1901).

So a good timeline question to ask is... what if Duke of Kent /became/ the King of America? What would this mean, Victoria, the greatest monarch of a century, becoming an American Queen, or Empress for that matter?

This will be that timeline.

POD is where some of the revolutionaries were more inclined to a monarchy, and we start in 1789.
