Queen Elizabeth set to retire, picks Grandson Prince William as Successor


Rumors have emerged that Britain’s Queen Elizabeth is set to retire and intends to pass the crown over to Prince William and Kate Middleton. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, who just celebrated her 63rd year on the throne, making her the longest reigning monarch in the UK, is reportedly retiring and giving up the throne in favor of her grandson, Prince William, bypassing her eldest son and heir apparent, Prince Charles.
The news came from reports the Queen had made it known she was planning to step down and skip over her son, Prince Charles, turning over the crown to the second in line to the throne, his son, Prince William. While according to the order of succession to the British throne, Prince Charles may come to the throne if his mother, Queen Elizabeth abdicates, retires, or passes away, the Queen cannot automatically pass the crown over to her grandson, Prince William, unless she compels Prince Charles to abdicate in favor of his son.
