Everyone has made valid points, although one other thing to consider is that if Scar wasn't in the movie. Mufasa would not have been killed. With Mufasa there to continue to raise and guide Simba, Simba would have been made to understand the responsibilities of a King as well as the importance of having a trusted Majordomo. However I also think that had Simba and Nala asked Mufasa to let them break their betrothal. He would have (however reluctantly) allowed it ( Knowing that the kingdom could not prosper if the King and Queen did not truly love each other. While hoping that given some time and space they would come to their senses). I don't believe that Simba and Nala would have fallen in love until either Nala found the courage to tell Simba how she felt, or until another lion look a romantic interest in Nala (If Simba were faced with the prospect of loosing Nala to another lion, I believe it would have made him realize his (thus far repressed/denied) feelings for her and he would have fought (not necessarily physically, but definitely emotionally) to win her heart. I think Simba would still be a great king, it just might have been longer that is was for him to gain a queen at his side.
