Many have speculated that eventually the Queen will decide he is unfit for the job and possible let his son assume the office.

Both Princes, William and Harry, do seem to be decent guys.

However, could such a decision be up to the Queen or would it have to be approved by the PM? The succession rules have changed over the years, but so have the politics.

I don’t know the answer to that.

But there have been times in English history (not recent) when the underlings dealt with a worthless King. I will not go into that.

Prince Charles is a really bad choice for the job under any circumstance.

Cameron believes in GW - no help there.

Years ago I read that Queen Elizabeth had decided to refuse to retire, until such time that Charles agreed to renounce the thrown. Apparently she doesn’t think much of her son’s intelligence either.
