When she dies or becomes too ill to carry out the duties of the sole monarch on the throne. I don't think it would be "proper" for her to just retire and do her son the favor of abdicating the throne so he has more time in power. She could to that but it would be scandalous.
Nobody is absolutely sure whether Prince Charles will be King or abdicate the throne and pass it on to Prince William.
Yes Queen Elizabeth can choose to make William the King before she passes away thus by passing Prince Charles. But if she were to pass away without doing such the throne would go to Prince Charles.
Prince Phillip is not, nor will he be the King of Great Britain- he is the Prince Consort. The monarchy will pass from HM Queen Elizabeth II to the next in order of sucession. Right now that is Prince Charles.
Prince Charles (1948- ) will become King either upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II (1926- ) or if she decides to abdicate. However, if he dies before his mother then the throne will pass to his eldest son, Prince William (1982- ). If he does become King then he will become Charles III. The last King Charles we had in this country was Charles II (1630-1685).
When the queen dies or retires princes charles will have the decision to become king or pass it down to william. And if charles becomes king then if he dies or retires william will be king

If you're talking about Prince William of England, then he won't be king until Her Majesty Elizabeth II and Prince Charles pass on. If you're talking about Prince Willem of Holland then he won't be king until April when Queen Beatrix officially resigns.
The heir to the throne is Prince Charles, the Price of Wales. He intends to be known as George VII.
The Queen cannot pass on the throne during her lifetime. The British monarchy follows a system of hereditary succession, meaning the throne passes to the next in line, typically a direct descendant or a close relative, upon the reigning monarch's death.
For the first time since well, l952-53 the United Kingdom will have a King- a male monarch! Charles III if he is alive and well. Coins, stamps, etc will have to be redesigned, a big shake-up- last time a Sovereign Queen of England died was back on January 22 of l90l when Victoria passed on.- There was close to a year of mourning ( not to mention retooling of coins, stamps, etc) and King Edward was not officially crowned until l902. True, Queen Mary died in l953, but she was a dowager Consort ( spousal) Queen and not a Queen regnant.
It is traditional for the British monarchy to follow the line of succession based on birthright, so Prince Charles is expected to become king after Queen Elizabeth. There is no indication that he plans to pass the throne directly to Prince William.
If Prince Charles, son of Queen Elizabeth, were unable to assume the position of King, sucession would pass to his son, Prince William. If William were unable, then to HIS son, Prince George, born this year.
