So If say a Queen regnant married a Russian prince would thay be possible? And then their son being the first monarch of the house of Romanov. Would such a thing be possible during the eighteenth century?Considering that in the late 1800s early 1900s most of the monarchs were cousins it's possible to have a Romanov to marry a British royal. But GB would never have let a Russian on the Throne. In that time Russia was seen as sub-European. Especially in GB.
A random thought occurred to me today.
How might one get a branch of the house of Romanov to rule Britain?
One assumes that it would need a female monarch married to a Russian prince
Is it feasible?
Oh that could be quite good, if Peter has two sons, one to succeed him another to marry the heiress. That could be quite interestingCertainly possible. Maybe a Alliance between GB and Russia during the reign of Peter the Great is cemented this way.

I think it's fairly easy. Give Alexander II a younger twin brother who comes with him who captivates Victoria even more than Albert when the still Grand Duke Alexander Nikolaevich visits her in 1839.

Funny that you mentioned it: presumably during that visit “captivation” did happen with Alexander but Nicholas I killed the idea. Not sure if this is not a legend but it was used to explain Victoria’s rabid Russophobia.

What about something like this with Peter as Alexander's twinVictoria was already a reigning monarch, and Alexander was the heir to Russia's throne. They couldn't marry without huge issues. Victoria needed a younger son. Let's say Alexander had a younger twin brother named Peter. Let Peter Nikolaevich be the one to marry Victoria rather than Albert Coburg.

I know about impracticality of the schema. There was an younger brother, Constantine (8 years younger than Victoria) who was quite charming (and extremely liberal) so there is no need to invent a brand new Grand Duke.

A russian invasion instead of Normans?
The Romanov don't even exist in that era of history. They won't be an thing till a couple of centuries later.
How about 6+ centuries?
Of course, Ivan the Terrible planned to marry a niece (?) of Elizabeth but he was not a Romanov and this was not an issue of him getting the English throne. OTOH it is probably possible to come with a weird combination when the marriage happens and it’s byproduct ends on the throne of England.
