Succession

[bednobs]

if David Windsor had not abdicated and had died without producing an heir, who would have succeeded him (assuming Albert had died first)

[Rockrose]

As is now I believe

[Rockrose]

Ps who is Albert?

[bednobs]

not any other brothers or sister?

[Hopkirk]

George 6th (Albert Frederick Arthur George)

[bednobs]

george v1

[ubasses]

No, George was the 2nd eldest son so was next in line. Even if the the 2nd child was female she could not have become queen.

[quizman55]

Surely if both Albert (GeorgeVI) and David (Edward VIII) had both died, in that order, then Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (3rd son of George V) would have become King. And then his descendents.

[ubasses]

Sould have read the question fully, As Edward did not abdicate until after birth of Elizabeth she would have become queen as the next in line's heir.

[quizman55]

But if Albert (George VI) was already dead when David (Edward VIII) died without issue, the accession to the throne would go to Henry Duke of Gloucester. Albert's children having been taken out of the line by Albert's death, with Edward VIII still on the throne. He then dies without issue, leaving Henry to succeed. (Albert never having been king).

same as now, Elizabeth

[Old_Geezer]

In such an alternative reality, perhaps we could hope; no one ?

//Albert's children having been taken out of the line by Albert's death//

does that make any difference? If Charles died tomorrow, William would still be next in line.

[bednobs]

seems to be very complex

[mushroom25]

when David/Edward abdicated the crown passed to Albert/George and the immediate succession to his 2 daughters, and Henry was third in line. had king george died while Elizabeth was still a minor, Henry would not have succeeded, but would have been regent until Elizabeth was old enough to be monarch.
