The year is 2017. After having her arse pinched by Donald Trump at a state dinner, Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II. had a heart attack and died on the spot.

Who will succeed her?

There will be three royal factions: Charlites, Williamen, and Harryers. Additionally there will be various non-royal factions: The City of London independence movement, Irish nationalists, a few Republicans, etc etc. Every player should pick a faction and list the resources (cities, celebrities, military units, etc) at his disposal, giving reasons why it is plausible that said resources should fall to his faction.
From there on we will play a sort of roll-to-dodge. I'll figure out the details later.

Merkel for marries Charles, and becomes Queen, EU joins Britain to form the United Empire.

You can have the invading EU faction if you like...

I don't think the EU should be a single faction if you were to include them. The relations between the UK and the various member states are too vastly different.

That's not how royalty works, the spouse of the King/Queen isn't the Queen/King but the Royal Consort. United Empire of Europe has a nice ring to it though

Claim one you like then. I'm not doing research here - I want each player to carve out their own faction, not give him a prefabricated mold.

Not quite true. It wouldn't be the first time for the UK. They had a Dutch King, William III. He was a son of the Dutch Stadholder Willem II, and Princess Royal Mary, daughter of the English King Charles I. William III married his cousin, also Mary, daughter of his maternal uncle, James, Duke of York. While his wife preceded him in line of succession to the throne, it was William who became King, instead of Consort. Despite a majority of Tory Lords proposing to acclaim her as sole ruler. She refused, loyal to her husband. That too, wasn't the first time.
in the 16th century, Philip of Spain married Queen Mary I, and ruled as King beside her, but only during her lifetime, and with restrictions placed on his power.
William III's rule went on beyond his wife's death.

Look at Merkel. Then look at Charles. Who do you think wears the pants?

EDIT to add confusion: William III is also William II (of Scotland)
