      Nillie the thing is, Queen Marie’s parents, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh (and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha), had been pushing their son Prince Alfred (Young Affie) to marry as he had turned into a headache for his parents. Young Affie had led a very unconventional life, so the thought of him of still being considered heir, at least by the government, would not have been considered. Had the prince actually married Mabel Fitzgerald he would have to give up his succession rights to the throne.

I mean both Marie and Ferdinand could rule Canada and Romania in the same way Isabella of Castille and Ferdinand of Aragon rule each of their respective kingdom. In case their marriage didn't happened, the it would be either Marie got married to a different man and we would get a whole different lineage forever unbeknownst to us but in case she didn't married to anyone and remained single or remained childless than the throne would be pass down to Arthur but since his line end up dying, it would end up to Leopold whose descendent became a Nazi but since at this point he was being raised in Canada , there's a good chance that he wouldn't end up as a Nazi. But we still have have religion issue, in our timeline Ferdinand is Roman Catholic but his descendent was Romanian Orthodox. Do Canada have any kind of law about this ?

      New France was the first colony of Canada before the British took over in 1760. What if the nation of Canada chose a monarch from the former French royal family instead? Where Québec becomes a monarchy apart from the British parts of Canada. And Québec also takes the French only parts of the province of New Brunswick with them when they become a separate country from the rest of Canada.
      Since I know several times that Québec has been threatening to leave Canada and gain independence from Canada on several occasions. Where the Canadian government bribes them with more money to stay with the nation of Canada. This place is the former homes of my ancestors. My family is originally from Québec and the French only parts of New Brunswick where I still have relatives living to this very day. My grandfather was born and raised in Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska, Madawaska, New Brunswick, Canada and my dad was born in Grand Falls, Victoria, New Brunswick, Canada. My dad was raised in the United States of America between the two states of Maine and Rhode Island where his father still lives today. My dad decided to enlist into the United States Marine Corps in 1979 and served 23 years by retiring in 2002. His rank at retirement was Captain. So with his career in the United States Marine Corps my upbringing was moving from place to place for my entire childhood years. I was born when my father was stationed overseas in Japan and lived in four US states in my childhood growing up. The US states I have lived in are Virginia, North Carolina, Arizona, and California. After California we returned to Virginia and this is the state I currently live in today in the same area as my dad's last duty station. Which is the Quantico Marine Corps Base that is about 55 minutes south of the nation's capital city of Washington, DC. This is the Marine Corps Base that keeps the Marine 1 helicopters that transports the most powerful person on the planet the President of the United States of America. Andrew's Air Force Base that houses Air Force 1 planes is north of DC in Maryland. This is the Air Force Base that my brother was born at. All of us kids of my parents were all born on Air Force bases around the world even though my dad was a Marine. Where he was stationed at a Marine base. The clinics on these Marine Corps bases didn't have the ability to give birth to babies back in the 80s so I think this could be the reason why me and my siblings were born on Air Force bases instead. This is how I was born and raised during my childhood. Compared to my parents who stayed in their hometowns until they grew up into adulthood where my parents attended the same high school and grew up knowing each other as children. My mom was good friends with my dad's younger sister growing up. Which my mom is still good friends with my dad's sister today as well. But the funny thing is as I have been doing my family tree research I have traced my parents to be 9th cousins on several occasions. My mom's side is directly only from Québec alone. But my father's side is from Québec to but they moved back into the New Brunswick area since this is the only side of my family tree I have Acadian roots from the Acadian refugees who came to Québec during the years of 1750 and 1760 during the French And Indian War.

The line propebly wouldn't be the same because Greek monarchs tend to marry either Royals from big countries (King George I married grand duchess Olga of Russia and King Constantin I married Princess Sofia of Prussia) or from the same house as them (King Constantin II married a Danish princess of the house of Glücksburg).

      Article 82 made the throne a hereditary office of Carol's descendants "on the male line through the right of first-born, perpetually excluding women and their descendants." It also required that Carol's descendants be "raised in the Eastern Orthodox Religion."
      In 1889, the Romanian parliament recognized Ferdinand as a prince of Romania. The Romanian government did not require his conversion to Eastern Orthodoxy from Catholicism, as was the common practice prior to this date, thus allowing him to continue with his born creed, but it was required that his children be raised Orthodox, the state religion of Romania. For agreeing to this, Ferdinand was excommunicated from the Catholic Church, although this was later lifted

    Hey! I really appreciate your videos and quality of work. If I may suggest, you should do something related to Georgia (the Nation, obviously), since it is one of the few countries where monarchy restoration has an high probability of happening. The dispute for the throne between two branches of the Bagrationi dynasty and their kind of reunion in a single branch 10 years ago would do a great video, in my opinion. You could also work on a “Caucasus Chart”, with the Dynasties of Georgia, as well Armenia and the various minor Kingdoms, Principalities, Khanates and Shamkhalates of the yet obscure area.

    I love 'what ifs'…
    So, my thought is - if the Canadian’s would have been so keen on a monarchy in principle (from the already ruling house), they would have waited until Queen Victoria had passed away before establishing their own independent crown…
    (following this thought) I think it would have been unlikely to look for the first king in the third generation when some of the second generation was still alive.
    ..
    This makes Arthur and his descendants the most likely ‘Kings/Queens of Canada’ rather than Alfred’s
    (already passed away before 1901)
    ..still working with ‘male preference’ would make Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden the current heir apparent of the Canadian Throne. (her father being the current king but I like the Victoria to Victoria angle)

    I disagree with your guess as to who would have been the first king of Canada. Charles James Irwin Grant, 6th Baron de Longueuil was the highest ranking Canadian peer during the time Canada became autonomous. Despite a precedent for kingdoms choosing a monarch from a related country, I believe that Canada's independent spirit would have made an actual Canadian peer a more desirable candidate. Charles Grant, a French peer of a peerage recognized as a peerage by the monarch's of Britain since George III would have been the most likely candidate and his descendant, Sir Michael Charles Grant, 12th Baron de Longueuil would be King of Canada today. That is of course assuming every baron in the line married the same woman and had the same children. As it happens he is also second cousin to the queen. Also, Prince Alfred was a navy man. He loved the navy and in fact as a child sought out career in the navy so his mother let him join at 12. I believe he would have turned down the Canadian throne had it been offered to him and more than likely he would have preferred to spend all his time at sea rather than in the bitter cold Canadian north (as most Brits perceived Canada at the time despite the UK being further north than most of the population of Canada).

    • @nunyabiznez6381

    The question is: would Canada and Romania remain under the same monarch (Michael)? If not, I have proposed a few other ways Canada could be ruled:
    1: It could have been ruled by Carol II’s illegitimate son (mentioned around 7:40). This son would have most likely been crowned as Carol III of Canada following his grandfather’s death. As Carol II took the throne of Romania and not Canada, Carol III would have been crowned at the age of 7 following the death of his mother. He would have kept this title for 68 years until his death in 2006 at age 86. The throne would have then passed to Carol III’s elder son Paul (born in 1948), who would have been crowned after his father’s death in 2006. The first in line would to the Canadian throne would be Paul’s 10 year-old son, Carol IV, followed by Paul’s 58 year-old half-brother Alexander.
    2: assuming Carol III was passed over for being illegitimate, the title of Canadian King would have passed over to Marie’s second-oldest son, Prince Nicholas. Nicholas was born in 1903 and would have taken the crown just before the age of 35. He would keep the title until his death at age 74 in 1978, having reigned a couple months short of 40 years. Nicolas died without children, and Marie’s only other son died as a toddler. Marie’s eldest daughter, Elisabeth, died before Nicholas and had no children. Marie’s next youngest daughter, Maria, also died before Nicholas. Maria, however, was married to king Alexander I of Yugoslavia. Maria‘s eldest son, Peter II of Yugoslavia, died two years before Nicholas. Therefore, Nicholas would pass his crown to his grandnephew Alexander, crown prince of Yugoslavia. As of July 9, 2020, Alexander is still alive. He will celebrate his 75th birthday on July 17, which is 8 days from now.

    • @gengarzilla1685

    There's substantial controversy around King Michael unilaterally removing his grandson (and one of his daughters, too) from the line of succession

    Did you give any thought to exploring Charles Stanley Monck as the first monarch? Though, that's probably a less interesting thought experiment. :)

    Hi Useful Charts! I love watching your vids and shove something educational in my brain sometimes. Could you kindly do "Who Would be King of the Philippines?" (if it chose to be an independent monarchy from Spain) :D
    would be interesting to see who would be the king now if they descended from the first Governor General Miguel Lopez de Legazpi

    What if Australia became an independent monarchy after it gained independence from Britain in 1901?

      Much like Canada in 1867, Australia didn't really become independent in 1901

    1. Who would be the King of Ireland if they never were conquered by the Normans and never were part of the Commonwealth?
    2. Who would be the Kings of England and Scotland if the British and Scottish crowns weren't united in 1603?

    • @sarfcowst

      1. Very difficult to decide on a King of Ireland as the pre-Norman system of the High King was informal and was not normally inherited - whoever was the paramount king among Munster, Leinster, Connaght etc could call himself High King but after his death it was never clear who was to be next - and sometimes there was no High King.
      2. The 2 crowns were united in 1603 because the rightful heir to the throne of England was the reigning King of Scotland. Scotland and England used a very similar system for determining the royal line of succession so the heir to the throne since then has always been the same for both. Since the Union in 1707, one of the articles was that the there would be only one heir to the throne.

      @@sarfcowst I understand. I mean the scenario where the English throne did not pass to the Stewarts. For example, Elizabeth I recognized the marriage of Katherine Gray and Edward Seymour. In order not to transfer the throne to the Scottish ruling dynasty, it was decided to recognize the eldest son of Katherine Gray, Edward Seymour, the heir (in reality, the marriage was not recognized by the queen, and Edward was declared illegitimate, probably you know it better).
      Edward Seymour died without the issue, the throne would pass to his brother William. Then we just can follow the line of the Dukes of Somerset until the now living John Seymour, 19th Duke of Somerset, a member of the House of Lords.

    • @sarfcowst

      Ah, I see what you mean. However, the line of Dukes from Katherine Grey's son only goes up to the 7th Duke who died without heirs in 1750. The inheritor of the title after that was the descendent of a half-brother of Katherine's husband, Edward Seymour (annoyingly also named Edward,) so not in line to claim the throne. Katherine's heir would be the descendants of the 7th Duke's daughter - the present Duke of Northumberland, I think. However, this claim was never a strong one as that whole line is that of Mary, the youngest daughter of Henry VII and the Stuarts are the line of Margaret, the eldest daughter of Henry VII, who must take priority. Also the possibility of Katherine being senior claimant after Elizabeth I was based on a law of 1543 and this was repealed by one of the parliaments of Elizabeth I so no longer counted.

    Also could you do a video on who would be King of quebec following the bourbon-parma line cause i don't think quebec would share a british prince with the rest of Canada they would more likely pick a descandent from a french monarch
