First consequence, Leopold would not have been king of Belgium and that country would have had another king/dynasty.
Charlotte and her stillborn son would have followed George IV.
Don't know much about Charlotte. What kind of woman was she ? What kind of Queen would she have been ?
Naturally George's brothers would not have felt the pressure to marry, therefore there would not have been a King William IV and Edward would not have married Victoria of SCG and fathered Victoria.
What would outcome of Charlotte and Leopold's issue we will never know.
Their issue would be the same age of Victoria, so a generation sooner than Victoria's.
Who would they marry ? What links would they establish ? Impossible to say.
But I guess ambitious Leopold of SCG would try to spread his issue (if he had more children, specially daughters, other than the one who died and claimed Chalotte's death) over other european houses.

Has anyone given thought to what Europe would be like if Victoria hadn't reigned in the U.K. or hadn't married Prince Albert of Coburg? Would the events of the early part of the last century have taken place? would there have been a Kaiser Willie in Germany? Would there have been a Czarina Alexandra in Russia? Would there have been an Ena to flee Madrid at the beginning of Spain's civil strife? Would there be a House of Windsor in the U.K. and the commonwealth? All this and much more due to one woman. Profound!
