Henry VIII contemplated doing this w/one of his illigitimate sons. Legally speaking, why couldn't William IV "legitimize" his children by Mrs. Jordan? Does anyone know whether or not he ever contemplated such a move?
If Victoria dies Young, William's children have to be legitamised as Ernest Augustus died before he did.
