Long live the True king

So after watching Britain's Real Monarch, I wondered what would have happened if George IV never became king. But instead
His brother did and the Hastings took power in Britain. I wonder what would happen. What do you think?
 
Think you might have the wrong Duke of Clarence there.

The Abney-Hastings and the Earls of Loudon are descendants of George Plantagenet, not William IV (who had no legitimate issue).

The documentary discusses the descendants of George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, claiming that his “brother” Edward IV was illegitimate, born to Cecily, Duchess of York, by an English archer (surnamed Blaybourne by some) while her husband Richard was fighting elsewhere in France.

Would George reign be better than his brother?
The line of succession would be different to the tv series as his son, Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick, would not have been executed, due to butterflies, leading to an altogether alternative line of succession
 
I think the question would be - is Edward IV revealed as illegitimate before becoming King or after?

If it's before, then does that butterfly Richard III out of the picture or does he attempt to overthrow George instead of Edward?

If it's after - what chain of events cause the truth to be revealed, and allow George to both survive, outlive Richard III and subsequently become King.

That true. But you pull also have to have the death of Frederick, Duke of Your who dies in 1827 making there Duke of Clarence (William IV) heir presumptive. And when would the death of George IV take place? Print to or after the death of his heiress, Princess Charlotte of Wales?

From the sounds of it, the question about Edward's paternity was raised after his succession to the throne. If we have a stronger, conviction by, Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, in 1469, we can have him executed as a usurper to the throne through the deadly sin of adultery. His only living issues at this point are his three daughters, Elizabeth of York (11 February 1466), Mary of York (11 August 1467) and Cecily of York (20 March 1469), who would be forced into either the nunnery or ladies-in-waiting to George's first wife Queen Isabel Neville or his second, Mary of Burgundy.
