WI Frederick the Great, King of Britain?

Well, I would be interested in reading an Old Fred timeline, if you could solve the POD problems I mentioned in my previous post.
 
A Butterfly Will Flutter By

Could you kindly repeat them on this page, then? :)
In short, with a Pod before mid 1711 you won't get OTLs Fritz (better later, if you want his very formative youth unaltered as well), but the later the POD the more Hanoveranians you need to let die (George, Frederick, Anne, Amelia in 1711 and Caroline after 1713, George William after 1717, William after 1721, Mary after 1723 and Louisa after 1724).
For the long version just look here.

Hmmmm... but considering the distance between Britain and Prussia, at least some of the butterflies would surely be netted, no?

It's not the geographical distance, it's the closeness of siblings.

If you kill George and Frederick in July 1707 Sophia Dorothea will be heiress presumptive of Great Britain, that's no butterfly, that's direct influence. Even if an extra terrestrial winged mammal holds its very best net over Sophia Dorothea’s and Frederick William's gonads. Who says, that Fred's older brothers -Frederick Louis (1707-08) and Frederick William (1710-11)- will die on schedule?

I also think, that you will not get the Great Frederick we know, if you take away his OTL first 18 years. With his mother heiress presumptive / Queen of Great Britain his upbringing will be different.

A way would be, if you render Caroline barren after giving birth to her first son and kill George and Frederick later.
