I'm certainly no royalist, but I do have some respect for the Queen. I hope she lives for a long time yet. Charles is 70 in 2018... if the Queen lives as long as her mother then he will be pushing 80 by then. Hardly worth it. May as well jump to William. In fact, as William is already about five years older than the Queen was when she ascended the throne, I'm even starting to think that, if the Queen lasts long enough, it should jump to George.
