Victoria is either murdered or dies after the birth of her first child but before any sons are born.

Several things come up

1) There will bre a long regency. Will Albert be Regent. if not who?

2) There is no way that a Queen Regnent could marry the heir to the Kingdom of Prussia. So this butterflies out Willy the Stupid. Does it prevent WW1?

3) How big a shock would a young Queen dying- either by a bullet or, probably the next most likely, in childbirth. In those days having a doctor attending, as a Queen would, added to risks of childbirth because of the lack of knowlege of infection?
