How would a successful invasion of Britain (1803 to 1810 timeframe) work in terms of the occupation?

Set aside the "HOW" this happened with the Royal Navy there question and just assume a fait accompli.

Would this be a permanent occupation or short term?

If long term, how many soldiers would this demand?

Would this be enough to crush any resistance a la the Peninsular War? Given Britain's geography, would controlling Britain be easier than mountainous Spain?

What to do with the little fact that much of European commerce, including the French, relied on the British Empire's resources and merchant fleet? How would the global economy endure? Would Bonaparte be forced to allow the British merchant fleet to operate?

If short term, what terms would Bonaparte impart? Mothballing of the Royal Navy?

Would the rest of the Empire (India, Canada, Australia, etc, etc,) obey any commands from a London puppet government or rebel like OTL Spanish America?

Would the Royal Family flee?

What else?

Irish rebublic? A return of the house of Stuart?
