Quick question for you all:

William IV of the UK died on June 20th, 1837, and otl was succeeded by his niece Victoria who was born in May, 1819.

However, what if the stillborn child William and his wife Adelaide had had in September, 1819 had survived?

In this case, the kid would succeed William, but being as they were born in September, and it's June, they are two months from their 18th birthday and being an adult. Would they bother with a regency or not?

Cheers!
