Surprised no one's said this one yet: George III/Lady Sarah Lennox.
In 1759, when he was Prince of Wales, George III was deeply infatuated with Lady Sarah Lennox and wanted to marry her. Ultimately his mother and Lord Bute talked him out of it, though he continued to flirt with the idea up till his wedding with Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. So lets say he tells his advisors to F*ck off and marries her. That gives the British Royal House some actual English blood (royal blood, as Sarah was a descendant of Charles II and Louise de Kérouaille) and direct connections to the Whig grandees. This could mean that, once the Whigs implode as the 1760s continue, some of the grandees could join the new Tory party under the King. Haven't given it more thought but it would be interesting to do.
