How viable would a PU between Britain and Prussia under Frederick II Hohenzollern be?

So I'm sure everyone knows that old Freddie the Great was fairly high up in the line of succession to Britain. Assuming a few unfortunate deaths naming Freddie the kind of Britain (lets say around 1741 to keep it simple) exactly how much actual power would such an entity have. I'd imagine it'd be decades before an act of union in mentioned in parliament and it'd probably be over a century before anything is passed. So does anyone think that Prussia and Britain could be anything more than separate countries with the same king?

Excellent,Prussian united with Hanover a century earlier.

Although,I don't think a union between Britain and Prussia would be successful.Old Fritz being an 'enlightened despot' isn't going to abandon absolute power like the Hanoverians.I doubt he would sit around in the UK either.So he's probably going to be an absentee king that the British people wouldn't accept.He will probably be extremely unpopular as king.
 
Prussia might get Hanover more under their rule then Britain's who was very neglectful to it. The British might even offer a split for one son to get Britain and the other to get Prussia-Hanover. That would get rid of their Continental entanglement and Prussia would be much more powerful to fight France.

Yeah the Parliament would love to give that deal, meanwhile Fritz would be more than happy to take it.

It'd probably be the most likely scenario. Too bad. Considering how wanked both kingdoms got in the 19th century on their own it'd certainly be interesting to see the uberwank that'd happen after an act of union.
