Poll: Best wife for Prince Rupert in 1657 PoD TL/1660 PoD TL?

A minor question for the two PoDs discussed in this thread.
1. Charles II marries Sophia of Palatinate in 1658.
2. Duke of Gloucester lives past 1660, marries Maria of Nassau/Erdmuthe Sophie of Saxony.
While in the second version personal life of Rupert may well stay as OTL, for first one there may be changes.

Bumping this for interest/write-in suggestions

A Savoy match would be interesting. As would the Rohan match his mother wanted when he was younger.

But in all likelihood its a Dutch or a morganatic match with Peg or Frankie. The dowager duchess of Richmond has a sister-in-law (OTL Baroness Clifton) who was also available for a time until at least 1663. Charles II could recognize the Stewart-Lennox inheritance as passing to Rupert's heirs...

I didn't include Margot (the PoDs we're considering are either 1657 (Sophia of Palatinate saying "yes" to Charles II courting) or 1660 (smallpox epidemics in London being less lethal).
As for Baroness Clifton, Katherine Stewart, I didn't consider her, listing ladies that were either mentioned in historical sources or (in case of Dutch options) were used for TLs. With 1660 PoD such match is meaningless (nobody knows Kat's brother would be infertile and then drown in a stupid way, and their cadet branch is not that rich), and changes from 1657 PoD may well have Esme Stuart survive.
