Hedwig Eleonora succumbs to fire

Whitehall Palace in England would meet its fate by fire on January 4, 1698 when some linen caught fire and in a matter of five short hours, the Palace was decimated. The only surviving structures were Banqueting House and the Whitehall and Holbein gates.

Suppose even Banqueting House is lost to the fire.
Suppose that before the fire occurs, King William III of England, Queen Dowager Hedwig Eleonora, and other royal guests dine in the Banqueting House of Whitehall Palace on January 4, 1698.
The fire occurs.
Everyone escapes except for one lady.
Queen Hedwig Eleonora of Sweden dies in the fire.
What happens then?

Why the hell would Sweden's Queen Dowager be in London!?!? That makes no sense.
 
She could always die in the similar fire that gutted the Tre Kronor. But otherwise, I agree with Constantine, both her money/power and her toyboy were in Sweden, so I can't see her leaving.
