I would think that if she were going to *retire*, she would have done it by now. Might as well stick it out to the end at this point.

Queen of England is not a position that you can retire from. No one except Edward VIII in 1936 has done it—and for an American divorcee, of all people! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : She looks fairly healthy for a woman in her 90s.
