British army isn't having any of it, and neither is Parliament. Most senior officers are nobles, and the fact that Edward didn't consolidate but simply declared the Kingdom at an end. So instead, Parliament shall treat Edward's shocking pronouncement as an abdication and young Alfred shall be king. As he is too young, a regent will be appointed, probably a staunch conservative to restore order.

Would that really even work at this point? Things are already starting to go crazy and the mini stated that the monarchy had already come to an end. I mean even if he did I'm not sure how much it'd improve the situation.
