Can't help thinking that if and when he does pass away, the Queen will throw in the towel.
Big changes coming.

Have a lot of affection for the guy, absolute star and apparently a really good egg!
Wish him all the best and hope he makes a speedy recovery, 91 and still working like he does... time for a rest me thinks!

Big changes coming. I don't think she will, not until she's physically unable.

Big changes coming. I do hope not and I'd be surprised if she abdicated.

Thought she always maintained it was a job 'for life' ? Fingers crossed for the old boy, plenty more people out there that need insulting yet !

She might scale back her duties as she herself gets towards her 90's, but she'll never abdicate due to old age - she takes her vows too seriously, including 'job for life'

She'll go. She would never, ever abdicate. The Royal Family have never forgiven Edward for doing it, and the Queen Mum blamed him for her husband's early death. However, I do think that the Queen will find it incredibly difficult without Philip by her side and I think her own health may well suffer as a result.  I hope he's OK - get well soon, Philip.

She will never abdicate, it caused her too much pain when her Uncle did it. That said, I do think she will 'go' very quickly after he does He's very much her rock, whcih was very evident in the photos of them that were circulating for the Jubilee, of 50 years ago & now - with the same expression of love on their faces Get well soon Phil!

Wot - she'll only get to 90 or 95, unlike her Mum who got past the ton ? They have the best of care, best of food and some light duties during the day. Staying away from the gin is probably the biggest health issue she's got.
