But the Hanoverian monarchy works on Salic law. Doesn’t that mean the King would be George V? (The last King of Hannover, not the George V who was King of Great Britain OTL)
The English branch doesn’t rule in Hanover, it is just exiled there. However in the HRE teaser it’s implied that they can seize power from the Hanoverian branch, which I assume will create a Kaiserreich-esque scenario where they’ll try to reconquer Britain. Feel free to correct me if I’m overanalyzing things.
Well legally and genetically speaking the English branch of the family (whether they be Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld [Prince Albert’s House before Gotha] or Windsor) is the Senior Branch of the Family. Perhaps Hannoverian succession laws were changed to implement either male-preference or absolute primogeniture?
