Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein Gottorp succeeds as King of Sweden?

Alright now that's going to piss off Charles aha.

Maybe but I think the main lection for Charles, that he need to strengthen Sweden elsewhere, if he wish to regain the Baltic provinces. I think marriage with a Danish princess and/or marry a Swedish princess into the Danish royal house in a attempt to close a potential western front down. Marriages with the Hanovers would also be a good idea.

Alright interesting. I think either Charlotte Amalie of Denmark or Princess Anne of Great Britain, would make the most sense.
 
Aye Charlotte is closer in age to him, being only around four years younger I believe. And it would do well to bring peace to the two kingdoms.

That seem a likely marriage, I would expect that any daughter from that marriage would be married to Frederik V of Denmark.
 
Interesting why the double marriage?

To integrate the two royal houses, if the Danish royal family get a modern claim to the Swedish crown, they're less likely to ally with Russia to weaken Sweden. The Gottorps need to weaken the hostility between their branch and the main branch of the Oldenburgs.
