i live in los Angeles & don't know if I addressed the question the rite way (as far as saying great britain) , I know she's not the queen of london , or the entire uk so I took a wild guess and said great Britain lol .

how do you think the monarchy will be after she passes away ?
I know prince Charles is next in Line but couldn't really picture him being king & camilla being queen consort & even though I'm 19 , I feel prince William & duchess of Cambridge Catherine are young too . I know queen Elizabeth was younger when she was crowned queen but times have changed so to say .

Wills & Catherine seem to be the best bet . I think there will always be a future in the monarchy but how do you see it being , after queen elizabeth 2 passes away ???

& don't give me crap saying they're our royals why are you worried about them , or how I called her Catherine the second time around . because I usually call her Kate,but ppl b!tched last time I said it . lol

There won't really be that much of a difference. The British monarchy has been around for hundreds of years and can cope with a change in the monarch. Prince Charles should be a good monarch, his mother has reigned for a long time and has been a very popular queen. As he will be considerably older when crowned than his mother was when she was crowned, he has had planty of time to observe and see what is required to be a popular monarch.



For those people who claim that the monarchy is useless and does not receive respect, I would like to say that I personally disagree with you and know many people that would also disagree. The monarchy is part of our British heritage and is something to be proud of.. The royal family is admired and respected around the world.

It's in fine fettle right now.



Prince Harry remarked recently that the Queen needs to go easy on her duties, especially now that her husband is in his nineties. The Jubilee royal tours have therefore been spread out between the four senior royals - the Queen stays put in the UK, the Prince of Wales goes to Canada and Australasia, the Duke of Cambridge goes to the Pacific, Prince Harry goes to the Caribbean.



The Queen Mother lived to the age of 101. Her daughter Queen Elizabeth II is in excellent health, does not smoke and leads an active working life. It is quite possible she could live as long as her mother, which means we have a sovereign monarch aged over 100 celebrating yet another diamond jubilee.



When the Queen is 100, Prince Charles be 77. He is already the oldest ever heir to the throne, having just overtaken the previous record held by King Edward VII. It is quite possible he too will not be willing to take on too much, and his wife must be getting weary of royal duties taking over what's left of their lives together.



So Prince Harry's statement must be an indication that we are going to have a communal family regency for a while, while the old people sit on the throne, but the bulk of the work will be done by the younger royals, most notably Princes William and Harry and their respective wives.



Charles's reign would be a short one, and Prince William will probably be crowned King when he is about 50. William is already nearly 30. King George VI was 40 when he came to the throne, King George V was 44. Queen Elizabeth II was 25, and Queen Victoria was 18.



All of this depends of course on the successors living. If an Argentinian nutcase downed William's helicopter with him in it, and Harry gets killed in action in Afghanistan, and Andrew does not outlive Charles, then we could yet see one of Fergie's girls on our banknotes, complete with Pretzel crown.



It is therefore in the royal family's interests for Kate to have a baby as soon as possible! I do hope they've got some of William's sperm frozen as an insurance policy.

Considering the Monarchy has been around for in excess of a 1000yrs I don't believe it's ready to give up the "ghost " yet .

We have Charles next to be King ,which gives William and Catherine a bit of time to produce an Heir to take over after his "Dad" has vacated the Throne ,so with luck it will go on and on for a further 100yrs or so .

it extremely is the 21st century (purely). we don't desire (nor perform a little persons desire) an archaic 'good-dogs' kin sitting on the coolest of our state. did you comprehend the British military nonetheless swear allegance to the queen? Why? we desire a queen like a cat desires tics. Our royal kin is German besides! some have been on the Nazis factor in WW2 (virtually besides). we desire a shape and bill of rights, not some antiquated royal bunch of has beens. cases substitute. the united states of a replaced into as quickly as decrease than the thumb of a British king. They dumped that concept incredibly speedy. clever pass. we could desire to constantly too. England (southwest) not that youthful any further.

Right then,

First of all, she is the queen of the United Kingdom.

I'm from England and the royal family have little respect from a lot of us. A modern day democracy shouldn't have a royal family who live in mansions and get the best of the best. They're an embarrassing reminder of our shameful imperialist days.

Out of date; inbred; posh fools.



Before all you pious bigots over the pond start kissing the queen's ****, ask yourself, what do they stand for? "The British Empire", which basically polluted the outer reaches of the world.

Life would go on as it has for the last 1000 years, wouldn't it? It's not as though we are not prepared for a woman in her eighties to die, you know.

The monarchy will continue. That's it. No hassle. No problem. Life continues

probably be the exact same as before, getting millions of pounds a year to sit in castles or play soldiers with the army

We are unfortunately slowly but surely changing from a Christian country to a Muslim country, unless the royal family are prepared to kneel in a mosque and the female members wear the hi jab then I don't hold much hope for them.
