It's not quite true that Queen Victoria succeeded her uncle William IV because the king and his brothers "could boast only one living child," as Victoria narrates early in the film. At the point of her eleventh birthday, when she claims she learned the truth about her family, she had four (legitimate) cousins, including two named George very close in age to her. She succeeded because she was the only child of George IV's eldest surviving brother. Given that one George was three days younger and the other George two months older than Victoria, it is hard to believe a genealogy book could ever have been made presenting Victoria as the only living cousin, as we see in the film. The younger George inherited the title of King of Hanover which would rightfully also have been Victoria's were she a man.
