I do like these theories a lot, but I do feel it's a little different. I feel as though the queen had an affair with another man, and the Dutchess of Kircaldy is the only one who knows, and the baby, most likely two or three, was in the room in his cradle when it happened. The queen is becoming more and more detached from her husband as she tries to draw his concern away from the baby, and the Dutchess keeps letting the word out. (Ex. The Duke was having problems with the message at the local "Bird and Bee". Perhaps she told the Duke and he was telling others while he was at the bar, but the message got mixed up? Mixed messages do happen a lot.) Near the end, at the seance, I believe the mischievous children said what they heard their baby brother say about the affair. (they were probably under the table, not dead.) The King, obviously ticked off, goes off and probably executed the man involved with the affair as his wife begs him not to do it, just to go back to simpler times.
