Rupert of the Rhine potential brides?

Working towards an idea where Rupert of the Rhine's descendants end up on the throne. Who would be considered a realistic option for him to marry, around the 1660s?
 
My preferred candidate is from the House of Orange, either Maria of Orange (if Rupert for some reason is preferred to his sick couisin) or Dowager Countess of Nassau-Dietz. Maria of Orange in OTL was proposed for Charles II, but he preferred a Portuguese candidate.
I also used "morganatic marriage of Rupert being legal in England" for my first TL on this board - https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...-times-of-first-duchess-of-cumberland.292039/
There was also an idea when Rupert legitimizes his relation with Peg Hughes - the marriage is still invalid in HRE, but in British succession law Ruperta Cumberland is treated as legit Princess. This was used in a challenge "get the (bastard) line of Stuatrts on the throne past 1715" as Ruperta TTL was married to Duke of Lennox, and their descendants later reigned as House Stuart-Lennox.

Oh very interesting reading. Maria could be interesting as well. Double protestant candidacy, and perhaps one or two kids could resort from that marriage.
