Queen Elizabeth II, 91, is the longest reigning monarch and allegedly held a meeting as recently as two weeks ago to begin the process.
Her Majesty is said to have decided that if she is still on the throne at the age of 95 then she will request the Regency Act to come into force.
The Regency Act would make Charles a Prince Regent and a King in all but name.
Under the Act, the Queen would remain head of state but would have reduced duties without abdicating the throne.

Like on Blackadder!
"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.
TURD
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.
Charles is a total moron.
“Ehhhhhh, just one question. What, exactly, are her duties?”
Protecting the royal treasurey up to an including turning a blind eye to a murderous invasion of her country.
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.
I apologize for the oversight
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.
If they were floating a trial balloon... well it just blew up as though acetylene filled.
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.
There’s a dog called a King Charles. Intentional?

That’s what I want to know! What duties?!
Queen said she’d never step down as long as she lives.....Charles is more than just weird...He’s a lune!
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.
Charles the Adulterous Prince Regent.
