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.

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!

Phillip has already announced he is retiring from official duties this fall, and Eliz has already been using Charles and William to accompany her. She also uses her daughter Anne, her son Edward and his wife Sophie from time to time.

Do stupidity, ugliness, unpopularity, count as reasons he cannot discharge duties of office? Ought to be. Charlie has all of those in spades.
