In 1839 the tsarevitsj of Russia and Queen Victoria had deep affections for each other.
The reason they didn't marry was, as I know, that Alexander was deterred by the Tsar who didn't want him to become just Prince regent of England.

But what if they dicided to get married anyway?

Could they have claimed both thrones or would Alexander indeed 'only' become prince regent? What were the laws on that subject?

If they could claim both thrones, this would change history to a mighty degree, with more cooperation between the two countries they could have both be the 2 supreme powers of the world. Imagine what this could have meant: no 3 Emperors League, no Crimean War, together they could have conquered Constantinople...
