Queen Elizabeth May Abdicate Due To Incurable Dementia And Call Prince Charles As Regent

Queen Elizabeth may reportedly give up the throne due to an incurable disease called dementia. However, royal experts believe that instead of completely abdicating, she will make Charles regent before it’s too late.

Queen Elizabeth is now 93 years of age and has been leading the monarchy for nearly 70 years. Considering that, it’s understandable why her health has been a growing concern for royal followers.

Just recently, royal fans were worried as Queen Elizabeth was photographed with a large purple bruise on her left hand. The photo was taken inside Buckingham Palace after the Queen had a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah and Queen Rania. While doctors have already said that it’s normal for women her age to have a bruise like that, royal fans are still not convinced that the Queen’s health is totally fine.

The growing concern over Queen Elizabeth’s health condition has raised several questions, especially when it comes to its effect on the future of the monarchy. According to royal expert Lydia Starbuck, many are now wondering when someone can step in to become regent if Queen Elizabeth actually develops a condition like dementia.

“At what stage can others step in to either become regent or to take responsibility away because often it’s a very difficult area that people are capable in some areas of their life and losing abilities in others,” she said.

Royal expert Brittani Barger also said that several monarchs in the past have had dementia, and they all had a regent to take their place. “They may have had their child or whatever doing all the grunt work but that was before a time we knew what it was (dementia),” he said. “The media now, if some monarch does get something like dementia, ALS or any disease like that, I think they would really have no option but to get a regent.”

Starbuck supported Barger’s claim and said that it’s more likely that Queen Elizabeth will make Prince Charles regent instead of giving up the throne completely. “I think it’s very unlikely that she will completely abdicate,” she added.

Earlier this year, a report also claimed that Queen Elizabeth was suffering from dementia. The report claimed, however, that the Queen was planning to have Prince William, not Prince Charles, take over her place.
