    Currently we have dear old Liz with her corgis but i belive she has delayed retireing because of how much her son is not liked? She surely can't keep going much longer?!! So i was wondering... for all you brits or ex brits here... who would you like to see as the next ruling monarch? And why/ why not?

    I'm not keen on floppy eared charles, i think hes an embarssament, William... too young, Harry... now that would be interesting! haha! I personaly think that Zara Philips would be good ( the daughter of princess margaret) she seems like a sensible down to earth girl. Aparatently she even speaks in a cockney accent too! That would certainly make an interesting christmas message...

    I actually think Charles would make a good Monarch...although I also think that it's quite possible his mother will outlive him. Charles will become King George VII (not Charles III)

    Unless there is an accident or terminal illness I think this is how it will go.

    QE2 dies in 2027 at age 101 after 75 years as Queen

    Charles becomes George 7th at age 78/79 and dies ten years later in 2037

    William is King William 5th at age 55 in 2037 - His eldest offspring - male or female is the next Monarch.

    I don't think that Highdose...the Queen has always maintained that it's her lifelong responsibility, and unless something unforseen happens, I don't think she'll ever 'retire'. Don't you think the Nation has 'mellowed' toward Charles? We must have the oldest reigning 'couple' in Europe - the Queen is coming up to 84 and Philip is 88!

    hmm i think the media has mellowed towards charles, not sure about the people though.

    Opps, of course, Zara Philips is Princess Annes daughter! silly me!
