If Anastasia was a suitable queen, and married Edward without a scandal like he did with Wallis, how would both react to the rise of Hitler?
I assume Edward would react not much differently than in OTL, however I think Anastasia might be negative toward Hitler considering some of his anti-Russian/Slavic rhetoric. Plus I suspect Hitler himself would not have a good opinion of Anastasia either, despite her German blood, considering her brother's sickness and the possibility of her passing it on.If Anastasia was a suitable queen, and married Edward without a scandal like he did with Wallis, how would both react to the rise of Hitler?

If Anastasia does not have a child or her child does not survive childhood then Edward would be succeeded by Elizabeth by default (If Edward still outlives his brother).
What would be interesting is Anastasia developing a close relationship with Elizabeth and Margaret because they remind her of her sisters.
NKVD.The royal family would need 24 hour guard to prevent KGB assassins for murdering all of them.
While that's one route, is there a possibility that the opposite route occurs and the UK sees the possibility of the romance to facilitate/make a gesture of detente with the USSR? Say that instead of Edward abdicating, the British government declares that Anastasia should formally surrender any claims the Romanov family has to the throne and dissolves the Russian monarchy in exchange for a British title and approval of the pairing, settling some of the Soviet fears of "reactionaries"?
