Doesn't it defeat the point of a monarch if they abdicate?
It was hard for the UK to recover after Edward VIII

But if the late Queen Mother was anything to go by, that may not be for years yet. Walking up and down those long palace corridors seems to keep the Royals hale and hearty to an amazing old age.Last edited by OwlHoot; 2 June 2014, 16:30.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Madge is hanging on until she dies. The point is, as she has said several times, she took a vow to do exactly that at her Coronation and she is damned sure she is going to honour it. if she can't continue, then Charlie will turn Regent and take over her duties, but he won't be king until she is no more.Blog?
