Apparently one of the 1st things the government would have to do is recall Parliament Operation London Bridge - Wikipedia
Would have saved a lot of bother and unpleasantness had she just carked it the moment Johnson prorogued it. I thought she had declared to serve her country? Not dying was a bit selfish, no?
Can't wait to see Corbyn have to do a cringing arselickken speech in Parliament when she does go.

I'm sure he would lie with one given half a chance

yes
I reckon the government would quite like a major royal incident round about now. The queen shuffling her mortal coil would deflect nicely away from the ongoing Brexit mess and would be an opportunity to rally the UK together. It would be perfect for them so I doubt they would delay its announcement.

johnson might have his own candidate for the throne, someone he feels might be more pliable - perhaps danny dyer, who can trace his ancestry back to edward iii

But not to Edward ii?

i don't think they went further back on 'who do you think you are' but obvs once you hop on that royal bus you're tracing your ancestry all the way back to cerdic, first king of wessex, and ultimately back to odin

Brenda has been Queen for so long now that she and the job have become synonymous with each other. When she carks it, I expect there will be a resurgence of republicanism in places like NZ, Australia and Canada. The UK is going to be the last nation to abolish the monarchy but I think there is a good chance that Chucky and his eldest are going to be the last 2 kings.
The monarchy will outlive me but I'm pretty certain my grandson who isn't quite 3 will easily outlive it

you're more hopeful than me, unless something really good happens i think the swedes, the dutch and indeed the thais will have royalty for a long time to come

I'd feel happier generally about the monarchy if Danny Dyer was King to be fair.

I reckon there's still time for her to go off at the most constitutionally awkward moment possible.

To be fair if you have any European ancestry, it's basically certain you can trace your lineage to Charlemagne. And if you're English, you're very likely to be descended from Edward III.

Ok, I mean you can’t literally trace your lineage. But, if you’re European (ethnicity) you are definitely descended from Charlmagne and, if English 99% descended from Edward iii, though I think I’ve seen other stats on that.
A pudding was trying to tell me last week, we are all descended from some dude called Adam!

I'm willing to bet that Charles will get passed over for the hot seat, when the time comes.

I've long considered that to be plausible.
Alternatively, Charles will get to be king, but most of the media & PR will continue to focus on the next generation.

You can't park here sir
watching king Dyer headbutt johnson "take that you slaggg" would make even the harshest critic of the monarchy reconsider

I think it's pretty solid these days... the original statistical argument had (acknowledged) flaws, but since then models taking into account isolated communities have been proposed... And probably most importantly genetic evidence (the original model is from 1999) has since backed up the idea.

I don't think there will be many if any monarchies left come the 22nd century, The european ones I think will go peacefully being abolished whenever the regnant monarch dies or steps down whereas I suspect the Middle Eastern ones will end in violence and a lot of it.
I can't see Chucky being passed over for the throne unless he either carks first or develops dementia, but I still reckon there is an above even chance that King Billy the Bald will be the last British Monarch, without being arsed to google it, I believe he's in his late thirties so his sprog won't get to the throne till the other side of 2050. When you consider the attitude of people towards the monarchy now compared to when Brenda came to the throne, I think there will be a good chance people won't want to continue with it, especially if the other main Commonwealth countries of Canada, NZ and Australia are republics by then.
I'll be in my 90's (or dead) come the 2050's so I won't see it I'm afraid.

- Did you fuck a corpse Prime Minister, perhaps at the same time one of your predecessors was fucking a dead pig's head?
'Look, I'm not getting into that, what the people of this country want to know is whether we are going to follow through on the 2016 vote?
- That reminds prime minister, there's an awful smell in here, have you followed through?
'Oh, err gosh, well actually, fiddlesticks... yes'.
