Flight to Cherbourg (any Port in a Storm)?

I was reading about the deposition of Louis Philippe and I saw some similarities between his decheance and that of Louis XVI. What if Louis had opted for somewhere in Normandy or Bretagne (predominantly royalist) or made like Provence (over the border to the Austrian Netherlands) instead of deciding on Metz (which IIRC was the strongest fortress in France).

Louis Philippe got across the Channel under the name of Mr Smith. And many of the emigres had fled to London; not to mention that Queen Charlotte prepared apartments for Louis XVI, Antoinette and their children at Buckingham Palace; Antoinette's jewelry was partly in the keeping of the wife of the British ambassador; and she had made friends with the famous Georgiana Spencer-Cavendish, duchess of Devonshire with whom she corresponded in passable (if not fluent English).
 
Well for one thing does a living Louis the XVI lead to a stronger and more cohesive Restoration movement? Maybe Napoleon doesn't get his 100 days?

It would be interesting to see how Louis fleeing to Britain brings the revolution with him and it becomes an Anglo-French Revolution. No other country with Royalty would accept him after that.

Maybe the Dauphin falls for an English princess and that leads to all sorts of Overly United Kingdoms type problems.
 
That the revolution would jump the channel was a legitimate concern, since Georgie III lowered the price of bread and cancelled some or other tax to prevent he and Charlotte being led to the scaffold a la Francaise.

However, much as Antoinette would hav loathed to do it, she, Madame Royal and the Dauphn would have been safer in London than in whatever Breton/Norman city would be serving for a royalist capital (maybe Rennes/Nantes?)

As for a British princess, George was loath to let his daughters marry (those that did: Charlotte, Elizabeth and Mary were all over 30 when they did) and he refused the Danish crown prince, the youngest brother of the Swedish king and the younger son of the prince of Orange's suits (and they WERE Protestant after a fashion) what luck did the Catholic dauphin have? Unless George IV becomes regent sooner, there are going to be as many old maids hanging around Windsor as there were around Versailles when Antoinette arrived.

A more likely dauohine is perhaps a Spanish/Parmese/Neapolitan infanta or an Austrian archduchess. Of course, outliers could be Auguste Amalie of Bavaria, Vicereine of Italy; or a Russian grand duchess (since Napoleon first wanted to marry Ekaterina Pavlovna; and Aleksandr I offered Anna Pavlovna as a 2nd wife to Louis XVIII). As for Madame Royale, there are five possible husbands that were considered under the monarchy: 1) Louis, Duc d'Angouleme; 2) Francesco I, King of the Two Sicilies; 3) Ferdinand VII of Spain; 4) Louis-Philippe, duc de Chartres and 5) Gustav IV, king of Sweden
