@Crying reminded me that I had a thread on this from about 4 years ago, and I was wondering if anyone had new ideas. Obviously, Natalia Alexeïevna marrying Friedrich the Great is pretty unlikely, but a fun thought to consider all the same. She didn't seem to care much for her Menshikov fiancé (from what I can make out), but I imagine that she'd be the "obvious" choice of a successor when Pyotr II dies. I'm not sure if Pyotr ever entertained ideas of marrying her off - either at home or abroad (maybe to his Dolgorukov bride's brother?) - but let's assume she ascends the throne single.
As empress, she can't marry just anybody - and she's in a very different position to her cousins (Anna Ivanovna) and half-aunt (Elizabeth Petrovna) - probably of a far different character too. So what would her life/reign/marriage look like, do you guys think?
