British army isn't having any of it, and neither is Parliament. Most senior officers are nobles, and the fact that Edward didn't go through proper channels 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.

Feel free to add on or correct me, but I don't think it would be unreasonable to see a government in exile based in, say, Canada or Belize with King Alfred (the what?) and a Regent.
