Doctor Who - History of the British Republic?

[ffutures]

Do we have any idea when and how Britain became a republic in the timeline that's now home to Rose Tyler and family, where Harriet Jones is President?

I've a vague idea for a story but it needs the change to have happened in the late 1930s or early 1940s.

I would say the most likely time would be at the abdication of Edward VIII.

That's quite plausible - maybe the fascist thing could be part of that.

BTW, had an idea for if you ever feel like doing another Olaf story - he's the troll that appears in Hogwarts early in Philosopher's stone, and REALLY messes up the HP universe!

I thought of that, maybe triggered by a failure to abdicate. The other, more recent possibility is - what if Princess Di had lived?

Too late, I think. And of course it doesn't explain the airships!
