Her Majesty is still perfectly capable of carrying out her duties and is not obliged to give up her throne.

She would probably also consider it a grave dereliction of her duty to the nation. the only abdication to have occurred in recent times was that of Edward VIII in 1936. He chose to abdicate in order to be able to marry Mrs Wallis Simpson. At the time, because she was divorced, such a marriage was considered socially unacceptable, especially for the King, as leading citizen. It was also considered highly shameful that the King would give up the throne in order to be with her.

Will Catherine become the queen if Prince William dies?

Their first born child, boy or girl, will be the reigning monarch. As a matter of fact, whether Kate is dead or alive, she can never be queen (as Elizabeth is now) She will be "called" queen, but cannot assume the throne as she does not come from the royal line of kings. Her kids, on the other hand, are William's children and thus can assume the throne (in birth order)


Is Prince Charles heir to the English throne?

He legally cannot decline the throne. Until he is king himself (for at least a day) he is not in charge of naming a new heir, the current ruler (the queen) is. The only way he could be skipped is for the current ruler (the Queen) to declare a new legal heir. The current queen or king can technically appoint anyone they wish as heir to the throne (it is usually a blood relative of some sort, but even that is not technically required). It should be noted however that if the public is not happy with the choice they could in theory revolt. (how likely that is to happen in modern times is debatable) There is always someone on the list as heir in case of unexpected death, in fact they keep a list of heirs in case many die at once. But that list can be changed at any time by the current ruler. Basically whoever has been named heir becomes ruler immediately upon the death of the current ruler (or if the current ruler declares that they are stepping down and appointing a new ruler) Now assuming the Queen does not name a new heir, Charles cannot decline becoming king, it will simply happen immediately. Whether or not he bothers to have the ceremony to accept the crown he would still be King. However, if he does not want to keep the the title, he can accept the throne and immediately step down and appoint someone else. He needs to be King for at least one day to have the authority to do this.


What is the duration which a king or queen rules?

Until the end of their lives or until they wish to appoint a successor to the throne. In rare situations a king or queen may choose to abdicate the throne, or in-other-words, step-down or basically quit the job. This would most likely occur if, for example, there were a successful revolt or military coup against them, and they were given the choice of ending their rule by abdication or ending it by death. But what type of government is it why wont it tell is it Dictator ship ir Fedural i meen really is it to hard for them to write that down?

Why wont camilla be queen?

There is no reason why she should not. On the death of Elizabeth II - assuming no further alterations ( death or divorce) in the Royal House of Windsor- Charles III will be the King, and Camilla, his wife- Queen Consort ( consort means approximately Spouse) Queen Mary of ocean-liner fame was a Queen Consort. That is the spouse of a rulling King.
