#there was a time traveling Jacobite agenda in Outlander right?

The implication of the Red, White and Royal Blue movie being set in an alternative Jacobite(?) universe

So my sister and I watched the Red, White and Royal Blue movie last night.

When the Prince Henry character gives his full name, the royal maternal part of his last name is Stuart-Hanover.

(From what I have gathered this wasn't his name in the books? I haven't read them)

When he said that I was like, wait Stuart? I am not an expert on the British royal family, but I am pretty sure that the royal family hasn't been Stuart in like 300 years since the last king got deposed for being Catholic.

So uh....did James II not get overthrown in this universe? Was he not Catholic in this universe? Was England more Catholic? Did Bonny Prince Charlie win at his attempt at gaining the crown that time around?

Is this movie secretly an Outlander crossover where the plot to win Bonny Prince Charlie actually succeeded?

Also the name Hannover has also been out of use as a English royal name since Queen Victoria died and it became Saxburg-Gotha (and then Windsor to avoid sounding German)

Was there a Stuart-Hanover alliance in this universe? Did Prince Albert never marry into the royal family?

So clearly ala the domino meme, the Stuarts staying in power leads to Texas turning to the Democrats. Somehow.

  

  Okay look, I know that seriously the name was either a result of a stylistic choice, a lack of research, or less likely but more amusingly, someone on the writing team being a Jacobite supporter, but it was fun to joke theorize about this.
