At 70, Prince Charles has waited long enough.  The Queen should step aside.

Nice to see someone agrees with me.

I think the reason Elizabeth doesn't want to abdicate may have something to do with her uncle's abdication. Granted, it was done under very diffrent circumstances, but I'm sure it had a lasting effect on her views on "duty".

At the very least she should step aside from exercising royal duties, making Charles Prince-Regent (George IV serves as a Regent for ten years before actually becoming a King).

Fortunately for Charles there are precedents of a late succession to the throne, that didn't preclude a new, pretty aged, King from having a relatively long rule. Gustaf VI Adolf didn't assume the Swedish throne until he was already 68, and still reigned for 23 years.

Winfield is a supporter of Prince Charles? Fascinating!

See the other thread.  It is now the Counsellors of State that serve in the regency.

Frankly I think Charles should also abdicate, so we can get King William, but frankly I'm not British, so I doubt they'd care about my opinion.

I think Charles, William, and his kids should all abdicate, so we can get King Henry the Red.

Yes, this. Then a Californian becomes queen consort...I love every bit of that idea. Haha.

If Harry becomes King AND Suits is still ongoing, his new bride needs put a cameo with him on that show (wasn't she a star on Suits?)

Also, if Harry becomes King, it won't be King Henry the Red, it'll be King Harry the Potter.
