Victoria is Born Victor

An immediate effect is that Britain will remain in personnal union with Hanover. In OTL, the crown passed to Ernest Augustus, Victoria's uncle, as Hanover applied Salic Law but this becomes irrevelant if Victoria's born a boy.
If Hannover remains in personnal union with Britain, Prussia might have a harder time uniting Germany...

Another butterfly is that there will be no marriage between Victoria (since she's born a boy) and Albert, meaning that Edward VII and all of his brothers and sisters are butterflied away or won't be the same as OTL...
Who is likely to be Victor's wife?
 
Oh, start even further back than that: who is Victor's (Alexander Edward, styled Edward upon his accession I'm sure) governess and tutor? It's obvious from a fairly early age that this child is going to be the successor to George IV and William IV - Victoria's "wicked uncles" mostly showed her benign neglect, but for better or worse (probably worse) they're more likely to take an active interest in a boy. What bad habits does Victor pick up from them? Victoria's temper (the Hanover family temper, really) has a tendency to express itself very nastily in the boys.

There's an older thread around here somewhere about this that reached the conclusion that Britain may get its first battlefield monarch in centuries, with "King Edward" leading the troops in the Crimea personally.
 
Not to criticize but i think that if victoria was born a boy her name would not be victor, but most likely Edward. He would be named after his father Edward: King of England/vife of victoria. Charles is also an option if victoria was born a boy,but the name charles was mostly popular in spain.

One extra question- if victoria was born a boy, who in one of the many large royal families of europe would be an appropriate wife for victor?
 
Question of this Post:

How is History Changed, if Queen Victoria is instead King Victor? (!9th Century)

Assuming Victor also lives forever, what would we call the era? the Victoran era? Victorish? Just plain Victor?

Probably its still called Victorian from the Georgian precedent.

Agreed; though as "his" name would likely have been Edward, George, William or Frederick, the era might have been called the Edwardian, Georgian, Williamist, or Frederican.
 
Victoria's uncles were not uninterested in her - their issue was their sister in law the widowed Duchess of Kent whose relationship with both George IV and William IV was bad. It's also worth noting that at Victoria's birth The Duchess of Clarence (Queen Adelaide) was still capable of providing an heir.

The boy might still be called Alexander (after Alexander of Russia as was Victoria) the second name will undoubtedly be Edward in honour of his deceased father.
On his accession he can chose whatever name he likes!
