A well-deserved retirement. Now maybe the British media will stop sniping at him.

The Queen has repeatedly declared that she will never abdicate. She believes the job is one held for life. Also she has no power to alter the line of succession which is prescribed by law not only in the UK but also separate laws in each of the 15 other countries where she is head of state.

“I declare this thing open, whatever it is.” (on a visit to Canada in 1969).

The Queen can not abdicate in favor of William...it's against succession law. Charles will be the next King of England.
