A question: In light of Wilhelmina II's Diamond Jubilee this year, I'd like to ask: what if the House of Orange's 318-year rule in England, Scotland, Ireland, and America, was nipped in the bud. Let's say that, instead of giving birth to William IV and III, she miscarries and id unable to have any other children. I assume that her sister Anne would have inheirited the throne after that, but she miscarried repeatedly as well. So lets say neither the House of Orange or the House of Oldenburg inherit the throne in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Who does, then? Do the male Stuarts get the throne back? Or does parliament decide they want a protestant king, and pass a law saying that only protestants can inherit the throne? Weren't the Hohenzollern's related to William and Mary? Maybe a personal union between the British Kingdoms and Prussia, rather than the Netherlands? Discuss
