This video shows a scenario if Canada had decided to pick Queen Victoria's second son as their king instead of remaining in a union with the UK when they became independent.
In short it argues the following line:
1. King Alfred (1867 - 1900)
2. Queen Marie (married to the king of Romania) (1900 - 1938)
3. King Michael (of Romania) (1938 - 2017)
4. Queen Margaret (Custodian of the Crown) (2017)
With 'Crown princess' Helen (Elena) and 'Hereditary Princess' Elizabeth.
I would argue that this hypothetical line is not very likely, is Marie would have been crown princess of Romania for quite some time when her father died (not that long after her older brother the crown prince of Canada died) and might have left the line of succession because of that. In that case, it would be her younger sister Victoria Melita who would have succeeded their father.
In short it argues the following line:
1. King Alfred (1867 - 1900)
2. Queen Victoria Melita (married to the Grand Duke of Hesse & Rhine; two daughters; and secondly, to Grand duke Kirill of Russia; one daughter and one son) (1900 - 1936)
3. King Vladimir (1936 - 1992)
4. Queen Maria (1992 - now) - currently known as Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia/Romanov
With Crown prince George (currently known as Grand Duke George Mikhailovich of Russia/Romanov)
