I was doing some digging and interestingly this isn't a question frequently asked, but it's interesting given the political conjuncture of Britain when he passed away.

OTL, Edward VII died in 1910, being 68 so not that old in the middle of a constitutional crisis after the January 1910 elections and before the ones later that year with the People's Budget and the Lords' veto after a Radical Liberal government won the elections of 1906 only to see many of their programmes vetoed by the upper chamber.

So, what if Edward VII had lived longer? What would have been his attitude towards the crisis? Would he, like his successor have consented to use the potential 'nuclear option' of filling the Lords with Liberal lords? What could have been his attitude to the upcoming Home Rule Crisis?
