On the 10th June 1840 Edward Oxford attempted to assassinate a four month pregnant Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert, however he missed and all three survived.
There are seven possible ways the assassinated attempt may have played out.
1.Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and their four month pregnant baby are killed.
2.Queen Victoria and her four month pregnant baby are killed.
3.Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are killed.
4.Prince Albert and his four month pregnant baby are killed.
5.Prince Albert is killed.
6.Queen Victoria is killed.
7.Their four month pregnant baby is killed.
8. All three survive, OTL
Frieda Mangold born in 2014 in Germany was 21 weeks and 5 days, her twin brother Kilian died however, Frieda is the earliest baby born, so Victoria daughter Victoria would be born three to four weeks earlier at seventeen to eighteen weeks, and Frieda was born with modern medical techniques
So in any case the baby would only survive if Queen Victoria survived so 3 and 6 would most likely not happen
So then if Queen Victoria survived but a family died, her husband, daughter, or both, how would this affect the rest of her reign and would how would this change in style affect history
Then there is if Queen Victoria was killed. If she is killed then her Uncle, Ernest Augustus, King of Hanover, would be King. How would his rule play out. And if Prince Albert survived how would he affect Ernest's reign, would be still a prominent member of British politics or would he be forced out of Britain, if so who would force him out, the pubic, parliament, or the monarchy.
Therefore there are five possible ways this timeline might go.
1. Queen Victoria survives but loses Albert.
2. Queen Victoria survives but loses her daughter.
3. Queen Victoria survives but loses both.
4. She and Albert are killed and her Uncle is king.
4. She is killed and her Uncle is king and Albert is forced out of British politics.
5. She is killed and her Uncle is king and Albert remains a prominent member of British politics.
So how would history change?
If Ernest Augustus was king, and probably unpopular, might it be possible that civilians, military personal, and politicians might band together to overthrow the King of Hanover and turn Britain into a republic. How would such a change affect Britain and the rest of the world? Might it be that without a figurehead like Victoria the British Empire might collapse as there may be a lack of morale since there is no popular monarch anymore. Perhaps this collapse might mean other empires may try and take colonies off the now weak British Empire. Or perhaps if Prince Albert survives he may be placed on the throne as the new King meaning a new line of succession may unfold, perhaps he never remarries and so his nephew or cousin or someone may take the throne after him. How would the reign of Albert turn out?
