royals killed in the Battle of Britain

what if the Royal Family was killed in the Battle of Britain in 1941 (the King and Queen almost were) so lets say the the King, Queen, the Princess Elizabeth, the Princess Margaret and Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester are killed in the bombing, Prince George, Duke of Kent is George VII, how will this Bisexual coke-head take being king in the middle of war?
 
Since you didn't explicitly butterfly away his birth, a better question might be, "how would the bisexual cokehead [and possible Nazi sympathizer] take to being Regent for the infant (or yet unborn, depending when the others die) King William V in the middle of war?"

Ah but tragically the King is killed by a German sympathizer to destabilize Britain and make it easier for a Nazi invasion, or so a story of similar caliber would be told. The British intelligence community would come up with something clever and rather believable, and eliminate a threat to the war effort to boot.

Now I am uncertain as to the line of succession, but the new monarch may be one of Princess Louise's daughters, or perhaps the last surviving son of Queen Victoria, Prince Arthur (King Arthur during WWII), he dies in 1942 and the throne passes to his grandson Alastair, who I imagine would become King Arthur II.

In OTL Prince Alastair died of hpyothermia in 1943, with these differing circumstances, he is likely to live many more years, perhaps well into the 1990's. He was unmarried, so that is something that would be remedied following the war.

Very surprised no has mentioned, one important point - the Battle of Britain was in 1940! Or is the delay (and why) part of your TL?
 
King Arthur during in WWII that would be great :D

Actually there's an AH book about just that. IIRC it's called "Arthur, King" or something like that. KA and Mordred emerge from Coventry Cathedral; KA ends up flying a Spitfire, Mord ends up a Luftwaffe higher-up and as observer in a Me-110.

It's campy, but fun. :)
 
The Royal family meeting a grisly end during the Blitz is plausible--Buck house was bombed in OTL, though the members of the firm were safely down at Windsor Castle when it happened, IIRC.

Now, blueblood kills thanks to the Battle of Britain is tougher. Do the King and his loved ones happen to be at Biggin Hill or another fighter command base when it gets bombed?

Are they in the air, flyings Spits?:D
 
yes yes i meant the Blitz, i wrote the thread as i was headed to bed and wasn't thinking, :( i'm dumb, any way the King Arthur think while cool can't happen, you'd have to kill, George VI, Princess Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, Prince George, Duke of Kent, Prince Edward, Princess Alexandra, Princess Mary, George Lascelles, Gerald Lascelles, Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife, Alastair Windsor, 2nd Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, Princess Maud, Countess of Southesk, James Carnegie, Crown Prince Olav of Norway, Prince Harald, Princess Ragnhild, Princess Astrid

i could go on but won't
 
The Nazis thought that the campaign to murder the British royal family and break the line of succession was clever.

And then, in what had become England's darkest hour, in a tomb lost and forgotten fifteen hundred years earlier, a whisper was heard...for Excalibur...

Awesomeness.
 
Funny but tough to achieve - George VI and Queen Elizabeth were present at Buckingham Palace on one occassion when the Palace was bombed - but only once and their daughters were both safely at Windsor Castle in fact both Princesses rarely left Windsor and despite propaganda the King and Queen almost never spent the night in London returning to the relative safety of Windsor most nights.
