Am I right in stating that if the order of succession to the throne in
the UK
had been "gender blind" in Queen Victoria's reign then Princess
Felicitas
would have been Queen of the United Kingdom ?

Only if the gender blindness started during Queen Victoria's reign. Had it started before that Victoria's father had older sisters, as did her grandfather. It just depends on the start date of the gender blindness. If it started before Victoria's reign then she wouldn't have been Queen to begin with.
