assuming that the youngest Willem had deceased childless, as he did irl;
who would have succeeded in the dynasty after all the three sons of his father died?
would a Wilhelmina, born very late and of the second marriage of the excluded guy, have her successional rights?
(assuming he had married a second time in that parallel timeline...)

Of course, drafting the alternative timeline further...
There would be a somewhat natural assumption that the new Willem III would have been allowed to marry comtesse Limburg-Styrum and that just possibly they could have procreated, produced heirs...
