WI Prussian royal family perishes in war of 4th coalition

As in the title what would be the effects of the entire Prussian royal family dying off during the war of 1806-1807? Some die in battle, other die in accidents, couple are murdered by French soldiers, and finally what's remained of them dies of some or another ilness in winter?

Anyway, by the time of otl battle of Eylau, all of them are gone.

Probably some another distant branch of Hohenzollern would rise to the throne. Only issue is that at least with my knowledge they are Catholics so them probably should convert to Protestantism. Or then there would be some another royal family put to Prussian throne. ITTL Prussia probably remain much weaker nation.

The Prussian monarchy was pretty weak and indecisive at this point, so it probably makes little difference to the country in the near future. In the long run, it might lead to a weaker monarchy and a stronger aristocracy and by extension a stronger military (in politics).
