WI: Alfonso XIII dies in 1902

[Nanwe]

So, as with so many other attempts at killing people, in 1906, an anarchist almost killed Alfonso XIII and her bride on their way to the Royal Palace from church as they paraded around Madrid. OTL, he failed, although he did manage to kill some people, but both groom and bride survived intact, besides the shock.

Now, let's say this wasn't the case, that Alfonso XIII dies, only a couple of years into his reign, what would be the consequences of his death? Could it mean a more stable (and perhaps more democratic down the line) Restauración without a King so prone on helping its country via "borbonear" Prime Ministers?

EDIT: I got the year wrong, my bad.

On 31 May 1906, his nephew, Infante Alfonso, Duke of Calabria, would become King Alfonso XIV at the age of 62 days old (spookily IOTL he died aged 62 years.)
His mother, Mercedes, Princess of Asturias will most likely act as regent, until her death in child birth 1904, when his grandmother, Queen-Dowry Maria Christina of Austria (who had been regent to Alfonso XIII from 25 November 1885 to 17 May 1902) would again act as regent from 17 October 1904 to 30 November 1917.

As a daughter of daughter of Archduke Karl Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Archduchess Elisabeth Franziska of Austria, would Maria Christina of Austria, support her brother, Archduke Friedrich, Duke of Teschen, who from 1914, was Supreme Commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army.

Would France join if both Germany and Spain offered their support to Austria against Russia and Serbia?

Who would the young King marry?
- Princess Yolanda of Savoy (1901-1986)
- Princess Mafalda of Savoy (1902-1944)
- Princess Maria Alix of Saxony (1901-1990)
- Princess Anna of Saxony (1903–1976)
- Princess Nadezhda of Bulgaria (1899 – 1958)
- Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark (1904-1974)
