Victoria unmasked as Illegitimate

There has always been a strong rumor that Queen Victoria's father was not the Duke of Kent, but rather her mothers private secretary John Conroy.

WI this relationship had come to light (and been proved somehow) before Victoria took the throne?

This would mean that Victoria's Uncle the Duke of Cumberland would take the throne and maintain the personal union with Hanover.

What would this mean for German unification in 1871?
 
Butterflies.

But I would assume that all things being even that it depends on if the King (of GB) can do anything about it.
