What if Scotland and Wales's devolved administrations were, and, had been, Presidential and Bicameral from their creation in 1999? This means, that in addition to they would each have a Lower House, a Senate, and a directly elected executive in the form of the governor/Governor-General. In each case, the Lower House would, like their legislatures in OTL, be elected by Mixed-Member-Proportional-Representation, their senates would represent the local government areas while the governor would be elected much like the mayor of London. Thus each country would be a sort-of Presidential system within a Constitutional Monarchy.
I don't see this TL as too farfetched; the proposed Home Rule administrations of Ireland in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries were to be bicameral, as was Northern Ireland's Parliament between 1919 and the Troubles. And of course London, with its directly elected mayor is a quasi-Presidential system.
