I agree ,whilst it would be nice to see a young King on the throne(charles is now 63 i think) i can't see the queen or charles ever abdicating and nor should they imo .Abdication of the throne is no small thing for a monarch and in all our history there has only ever been 1 instance of this happening voluntarily with Edward VIII
