Yes, you have caught onto my silly game. Thanks for Gustaf Adolf and Margaret.

: And for the UK, there is the marriage of
: Princess Charlotte of Wales to Leopold of
: Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (who would later become
: Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and after
: that King Leopold I of the Belgians) in
: 1816. (Or maybe that one doesn't count, as
: Charlotte was never her father's heiress

Exactly. Thus, it doesn't count toward my "collection." Only heirs apparent to the heir apparent to a throne will do!
