Let's assume that Queen Victoria does not ascend the UK's throne and a male heir does so (be it through George IV, any of his brothers, or let's say Vicky's ATL-brother is born instead of her) and the personal union between the United Kingdom and Hanover does not dissolve. How would it affect the German question in terms of unifying the German states? Obviously Bismarck's approach of a Prussia-dominated Germany wouldn't occur as per OTL, but how would the continued presence of a continental tie for the British work out for both the UK and Germany?
