My point was that a 85 year old woman doesn't have that much time left and historically (especially in the war years) she was a positive for the nation it would have been polite to have left these kind of discussions until her passing and then let each nation decide for themselves whether to continue with Charlie or not
My only fear would be we end up with a President of England (hopefully the Scots will be long gone by then) Mr Tony Blair type non-entity which is just plain wrong, so we would need to think seriously of what we put in place of a constitutional Monarch
