I'm not too well-versed in 19th century history, but I've just come across a POD. If it's been done before, I'll be sure to look, but for now...
In 1817, Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, the only child of George IV of Great Britain and Caroline of Brunswick, died after giving birth to a stillborn son. Her death was greatly mourned by the British people, her estranged parents and especially her husband, the future Leopold I of Belgium.
How would history have been different if Charlotte (and her son, idealist that I am in these situations) had survived? Would she have become monarch upon the death of George IV instead of William IV? How, especially, for the British Empire and Belgium?
