I think Britain has reached a crossroads and will change forever. The Queen is now 96 years old, an age where everyday tasks like walking and standing can be very painful and difficult. If the Queen were to retire from royal duties, it would very likely be during the Platinum Jubilee or shortly after; I'm not saying she will though.
They will call the milestone celebration of 70 years on the throne the 'Platinum Jubilee'. Platinum is a very heavy transition metal that has 78 electrons and 78 Protons, one less than Gold. Gold has 79 electrons. Platinum is almost the same as gold but has one less electron and proton, what a difference it makes. Platinum is like gold with something missing.
Prince Charles talks more than the Queen and has his mind set on helping the environment. He is very direct and seems to like engaging in round table talks. Britain will have a monarch that is more direct and open about his vision. It will be interesting to see what happens when he eventually becomes the King.
