It is predictable that even if all difficulties and dangers are overcome, Bavaria is really merged with part of the Austrian Kingdom, then in name, your wife's status must be higher than that of you. Don't think that a country can only have one king, nor do you think that a royal family can only have one king. On this issue, the Austro-Hungarian Empire itself has precedents!

This precedent is the father and mother of Princess Mary! Dad Fritz is the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the king of Austria, while Mother Princess Sisi is the nominal queen of Hungarian! The fundamental reason why Fritz can suppress his wife is the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Princess Sisi is the nominal queen. But this matter cannot be attached to Prince Ruprecht!

First of all, even if all interference is eliminated in the end (including, but not only Prussia's opposition, pressure from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, interference from the Allies, etc.), the Kingdom of Bavaria successfully merged with some parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is impossible to say that annexation is still too small. Bavaria cannot do what Prussia could not do back then.

Then this is likely to be the case in this kingdom. Prince Ruprecht will be the king of Bavaria, while his wife, Princess Mary, may be crowned the Queen of Austria. The Germans in Austria would rather accept a member of the Habsburg family as their king than a Bavarian, even if the members of the Habsburg family may be closer to the Bavarian royal family in terms of blood!

Well, the current situation is that there are two kings in this new kingdom at the same time. This is not the most important thing. What is important is that both kings have real power! It is definitely not necessary to say that the prince is definitely the same, but at the same time, if the prince wants to expand his influence to the newly added area, it is absolutely impossible without the help of his wife! After all, the possibility of the Austrian nobles being loyal to His Royal Highness the Princess is definitely much greater than that of himself!

If you think about it more, the new kingdom will definitely establish a parliament. According to the German rules, the amount of representatives may be determined according to the population of each region. (This is the case with the German Federal Parliament, but each state has at least one representative) If this is the case, then Bavaria will be a tragedy! This parliament is not the Wittelsbach family, but the Habsburg family has the final say! The influence of his wife is greater than that of himself. Can this be tolerated?

This is just a political issue. If it involves economy, ethnicity and other aspects, it will be even more chaotic. The Germans in Bavaria and the Germans in Austria have different ideas, the Germans and the Czechs have different ideas, and the two ethnic groups have different ideas. Well, how much cohesion will this monster mixed with various things have and how much authority the central government has, it is worth discussing! Anyway, His Highness the Prince will never allow Bavaria to become another Austro-Hungarian Empire! It is absolutely not possible!
