Kaiser Wilhelm flees to...England!?

Allegedly around May 10th 1940 the former Kaiser was privately sent a message from Churchill that if he wished to he was welcome to asylum in Britain if he wished to avoid the Nazis.

Obviously Wilhelm did not accept the offer for various reasons... but what if he had?

Dude was old and at the end of his life. Don't think he was ever fully there, to begin with.
Anyhow he was busy deforestating his estate
 
by 1940 it really didn't matter .. if the brits had offered up before it would have.. but by 1940 its a propaganda piece
plus willie kicked the bucket shortly there after
 
Unlikely he would have accepted under any circumstances. IIRC, the old boy had made a number of more-or-less pro-Nazi pronouncements during the '30s, so coming to a nation not bordered by Nazi Germany wouldn't have been much of an inducement.
