Under the Act, the Queen would remain head of state but would have reduced duties without abdicating the throne.
"Ehhhhhh, just one question. What, exactly, are her duties?"

You call Camilla an adulteress but do not call Charles an adulterer? If it is “well deserved” for her, why is it not for him?

So she is planning to step down on April 29, 2021, but the Abomination of Desolation occurs on April 2, 2021, so I think the gesture will be an empty one.

I think a lot depends on Prince Phillip. Were he to predecease her (which given that he's already 96 is likely) I think it will be very hard for her to continue without serious scale back of official duties.
Under the British system, the Regency Act is the means by which a Monarch, who is either of minor age or due to age or other infirmity is unable to discharge their duties of office, can have an official "stand in" to take over these duties. So this scenario is not unlikely.

Would a Butler, especially a Royal Butler, divulge such information? Fake news?

Sounds like the Brits have “leak” problems, same as us. But maybe the yellow journalism disease has hit there, too...and it’s all fake.

Perhaps Charlie and his horsefaced consort can take a quick vacation trip to France that included a late night drive...........
IF Charlie is made King, you can kiss the monarchy goodbye, because that idiot would likely invite in an all Muslim court!

No dog in this fight but I will say Charles is a f-N idiot.

Crooks are crooks. Watch out for new cars, too. Someone needs to post Monty Pythons Upper Class Twit of the Year skit in honor of Charles finally ascending the throne.
I never thought Elisabeth would do it.
I always thought the idiot would get bypassed.

I don’t believe it. I think the Queen would have stepped down when the Queen Mother passed away if she were going to do it. She realizes what a nut-job Charles is.
