How old is the Queen of England and after she dies how many years after that will England have kings and queens?
There has not been a Queen (or King) of England since 1707. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And she is the official Queen of many commonwealth countries like Canada, Australia and new Zealand. Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21st April 1926, and as of 2013, she is 87 years old. As for how long there will be a monarchy - who knows? There is no conceivable prospect of The United Kingdom ever abolishing the monarchy. At the very moment of the Queen's death the throne passes automatically to the heir, currently the Queen's oldest son, His Royal Highness Prince Charles. On his death the throne passes on to the next in line, currently His Royal Highness Prince William, son of Prince Charles and Grandson of the Queen. In the unlikely event that these heirs were removed (say, with a terrorist bomb) then another descendant of the Queen would assume power. The likes of precedence (the order of who is next in line to the throne) is a complex system, but it ensures that there is always a king or queen in waiting on the death of a monarch.

Of course there was no problem when Elizabeth died, Mary was already dead but her son was offered the throne as he was Protestant.
