The House of Wyndham gathered together for the first time in six years. King Arthur II presided over the photo op, with his brother and heir apparent Albert, the Duke of York. As King Arthur and Queen Margaret were well into their mid-50s with no issue, talk was being made of installing the younger Albert as Prince of Wales.
That never passed, for as 49 members of the House of Wyndham gathered on stage, several men, women, and children, a freak electrical surge occurred with the camera equipment used to take the photographs. The entire Royal family was electrocuted, killed in the most gruesome way imaginable. King Arthur, Queen Margaret, Prince Albert, Duchess Eleanor, all dead. Prince Albert's children and grandchildren, also dead.
Above: The final image of the House of Wyndham. All 49 Wyndhams in this photo were electrocuted mere seconds after this photo was taken.
Monarchy in the United Kingdom appeared to be dead. A new source, to satisfy the Succession Act of 1843 needed to be found. Two cases would be brought forth by the King's Assistant Private Secretary, Mr. Duncan Phipps, with one surprising source at the forefront.

Princess Alexandra Victoria fiddled with her dress. At 18, she despised being wedded off to Arthur Wyndham, 3rd Baron Wyndham. He was twenty years her senior and practically a commoner at his rank. But she was assured by her private secretary that a marriage would help strengthen ties with Ireland, and as heiress to the throne and only daughter of the King, she needed to ensure a smooth succession within all the realms.
Arthur was the only thing preventing another Jacobite rebellion.

King William's horse, Sorrel, neighed, nearly throwing the King off mere inches in front of a molehill that definitely would have thrown the King off and broken his collarbone. By sheer fortune, he was saved from a painful death. He did not realize this, of course, and the horse was to undergo severe re-training to prevent such an action in the future.
In the meantime, King William III would consult with his Privy Council regarding the Act of Settlement and how it could best be amended to ensure a clear Scottish succession. He would have no say in the matter, but as he was without heir, he did not want his death to eventually lead to civil war between the realms.
