So this is an idea I've been wondering about for a while now. Lets say the House of Stuart doesn't go extinct in 1807 and instead continues. Either Charles "III" produces a son or Henry "IX" never becomes a Cardinal and instead marries and has children. The point is the line survives. What does this mean for history? Will an obvious surviving line lead to continuing Papal and French support and recognition for the Jacobite movement? Would Napoleon (if he or someone like him comes to power) attempt restore them to use as puppet Monarchs in the UK? Was there any chance of a reconciliation between the House of Stuart and the House of Hanover? And if Britain has a female heir, like say Charlotte of Wales, would there be any chance of a marriage between her and the Stuart Heir?
