WI: British commanders during American Revolution

What if Prince William Augustus Duke of Cumberland and Robert Clive both lived until the American Revolutionary War and became commanders during the war. I was thinking that they both take their postions before the Battle of Monmouth in 1778. The Duke of Cumberland in Henry Clintons job and Robert Clive in Cornwallis job. Clive i envisoned commanding the Southern campaign, due to his experience fighting irregular forces in India.
