Queen calls emergency meeting

WGAS. Many intellectual pygmies share your view.

I'm not a pygmy, in fact, I have 1,71 m and for a woman, I'm tall

In the past, your Queen didn't invite the Prime Minister's wife of my country because he was not married. Came from that immoral family it's ironic.

Nope.

The heir to the throne is Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor. He has a wife Camilla Rosemary Windsor née Shand, previously Parker Bowles.

If Queen dies and then the heir dies or decides to abdicate only then will his son, the second in line to the throne, William Arthur Philip Louis, will be King.

This is royalty 101 which I thought you as a newer British citizen than most on here would know.

Charles would be king but Camilla wouldn't become queen, since she's not a princess? Likewise William would become king but as a commoner, his wife would not become queen?

In fact, I know that but in my opinion, Prince Charles should abdicate the throne and pass to William. They are a young, nice and a decent couple (as far as I now ) and they are the best choice to "represent" UK.

This may all be true but you're rather missing the whole point of the monarchy. It's not about choosing people.

Some of us still think in imperial units. What's that in fathoms?

Erm, The Queen is the King's wife, whoever she is. It doesn't work the other way around as in a male dominated society that would put the Queen's husband above the true monarch. Or have I failed Royalty 101?

Personally I'd like to see Elizabeth II to be the last monarch and we should use the opportunity to drag the country into the modern world. Though after Brexit I'm not optimistic.

Will become a Queen consort. Am I wrong?

No, I'm not missing, just convince Prince Charles to abdicate the throne.

I'm still firmly of the opinion that do a load more good than harm. Same with the old style House of Lords.

Certainly the queen's husband doesn't become king, but I thought the king's wife doesn't always become queen. Diana would've IIRC and Camilla/Kate won't but I'm not sure the details.

Then put 'Royal Family' out to competitive tender to see if the UK can get a more economically advantageous deal.

Why would he abdicate before assuming the throne when he's in good health? Abdication is not something to be taken lightly on the grounds you don't fancy the job, or you reckon someone else can do a better job.
I think Will & Kate would be wonderful but that's not really a good reason. Maybe they'd like some time to raise their children, and at the moment they have more flexibility as the golden couple to do things they mightn't be able to once Will is forced into the more formal role of king.
