So, I suppose this is two questions merged into one.

Firstly, assuming Rupert of the Rhine had married and had issue, especially male issue, should the Glorious Revolution happen, and Anne still not have children, I assume the immediate preference for an heir would be Rupert's children, if so, being as they'd have been raised in Britain their entire lives, would they have a better understanding of British politics than George I and II did, thus preventing the complete shift of power to Parliament?

Secondly, assuming Rupert marries and has a legitimate daughter, before it becomes evident that Mary and Anne aren't having any children, could said daughter marry someone such as a son of John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough. And if said son survives, and things go as otl, would this daughter of Rupert's become Queen Regnant per the Act of Settlement? And after her, her children with Churchill's son?

Thirdly, similar scenario as number two, but this time a daughter of Anne's survives, and makes a love marriage with a son of Churchill's, consequences?

Thoughts and comments are appreciated.
