As the title says what might be the result if Edward prince of wales was successfully assassinated by Jean-Baptise Sipedo in 1900.

While exploring events for my A.S.B timeline I came across the assassination attempt.

If the "Uncle of Europe" who's diplomatic skills are replaced by a new King who speaks no foreign language.

Would Britain still emerge from isolation, and join with France and Russia?

Would his Mother's vehement dislike of Germany ensure even worse relations?

If the Belgian court acquitted the killer due to his age would there be the same sentiment to protect its neutrality.

Or would the event result only in an Earlier George V and history go on almost unchanged?

Lots of questions that I am curious to see what others think.
