Ghazi of Iraq Lives

King Ghazi of Iraq died on April 4th, 1939 at the age of 26 as a result of a car crash. Many Iraqis at the time blamed the King's death on pro British elements in the Iraqi government or even the British themselves. Ghazi was succeeded by his nearly 4 year old son Faisal II with the pro-British Prince 'Abd al-Ilah serving as regent. But lets say there's no accident or if there is Ghazi survives with minimal injuries. What would be the effects on Iraq with the War right around the corner. Would the 1941 coup be avoided or would a more anti-British monarch see war between Iraq and Britain come sooner. What about 1958 assuming Ghazi is still monarch by then if there's still a monarchy.

Ghazi deposed when he defies Britain in 1941, and he is sent to be a roomate of Reza Pahlavi in South African exile?
 
Brits hardly tolerate Ghazi's anti-British stance so they just make same as with Reza Pahlavi.

I mean that's still a major change going from restoring the monarchy in 41 to removing it with a lot of major potential butterflies for the region.

Could that affect the Iranian Invasion, there were many in the British high command reluctant to invade a neutral nation. Not a good image if they're going around the region deposing monarchs.
