Why hasn't Queen Elizabeth passed the throne on the Charles? She is old as the hills now and has groomed him

Question

his whole life to to one day become King. Do you think they will in fact skip him and move right on to William?

Answer 1

LOL!  Charles is not a horse!

The Queen accepted her responsibility to "serve for life" when she was became queen after the death of her father.  I fully expect that she will also serve her country until her death.  

And, unless Charles was incapacitated or circumstances were highly unusual, I cannot believe that he would be passed over.

Hopefully, Queen Elizabeth II will continue to graciously serve her country for many years.  When the time comes the crown will be passed to whoever is next in line.  It's really not a matter of convenience or popularity.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 2

wants ti reign longer than Victoria

Answer 3

When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned Queen, she took an oath to serve her country until the last of her breath. A monarch's role was for life, and there is no such thing as "retirement." Since the Queen is in perfect health, there is no signs of her slowing down at all. She continues to attend all her royal duties with the support from the rest of her royal family, and loves her job. Her father, King George VII never stepped down, even when was terminally ill with cancer, so with the Queen in perfect health condition, she definitely will not be abdicating her throne.

As for Prince Charles, he is in fact heir and first in line of succession to the British crown, followed by his two sons Prince William and Prince Harry of Wales, who are second and third in line, respectively. A royal member who is in line of succession, cannot be "skipped" unless he/she marries a Catholic, abdicate or passed away. Otherwise, he/she remains in line of succession, because heirs and heiress to the throne are governed by the Act of Settlement of 1701. Not even the Queen herself can interfere with laws, Acts and regulations set the Parliament.
