Here we go. Help for a prospective TL.

In 1699, Frederick IV ascended to the throne of Denmark. Obviously, all of his family would be in attendance, including nearest male claimants to the throne. Now, supposedly, if they are all killed during the coronation (say, by a disaffected danishman - or enemy insurgents)*. We know that young William of Gloucester was in England at the time under the strict guidance of William III of England. Because of this dastardly act, it would then be assumed that he is the heir to the Danish throne as well. Correct?????



*Lets just assume it was an assassination attempt upon the royal family, scenario can change.

Having looked on Wikipedia, Frederick IV was the first cousin of William, both their fathers were brothers, Christian V of Denmark and Prince George, respectively.
