Besides, this is still Edward VIII...his female counterpart having a string of affairs with married men (or women, if we want more scandal - an openly bisexual Princess Royal in the 20th century would cause apoplexy for George V, I dare say...) instead of settling down would likely make her seen as unsuitable marriage material anyway...

uh...why- better still how- given female education of the period (compare what the Queen Mother had, for instance)- would any daughter of George V and Queen Mary turn out like Edward VIII?

What? If anything, her behavior would speed up her marriage in an attempt to “tie her down” and cover up the scandals.

agreed. Especially given that this is...oh...the future queen of England? Victoria's whole unmarried period lasted all of three years. While I could see a "near miss" the first time around (à la Princess Margaret with Peter), they're not going to risk a second one

I think the Auld Alliance required Mary to marry into France. Marie d'Guise was regent of Scotland and we all know how she felt about the Tudors.

Arran was also regent, but his loyalties were also to France (Considering he owned land there)

No. A second son of Henry VIII would be a perfect choice for Mary Stewart’s husband. And the OTL Scottish objections to the match were all tied to the fact who marrying g their infant Queen to Henry VIII’s heir was not a good idea as England was intent to subjugate Scotland. But if the treaty of Greenwich established a match between Mary and Henry VIII’s younger son is likely who the Scottish parliament would ratify it (and Edmund of York, simply in virtue of being a second son, would be a better match for Mary than Dauphin Francis)
