What if, in 1602 after Queen Elizabeths health started to deteriorate she told the nation of her secret. This was that she had secretly harbored a child with Robert Dudley, and that he had never had been married to Amy Robsart or Lettice Knollys and that it was all a large secret kept only by the four of them.
Her child was called William, and was now 43.
What would happen now? I know this is very unlikely but it's something I just thought up. How would an unknown child of Elizabeth be taken by the government and people of England? Of course now James VI of Scotland wouldn't be able to take the throne but how would everyone react to the 'Virgin Queen' suddenly not being a virgin at all?
