Seems to be the done thing there with two other Queens stepping aside since 1948.

Doubt it will ever happen in the UK

It is weird watching other European countries with their monarchies. None seem to be nearly as active as ours but none seem to have as hard a a time justifying their existance as ours do.

Hollands Queen uses public transport and shops in M & S...so a little bit different.

Oi you DRF Bloke! This isnt a Royal spotting competition, but it could be. How about I start a new thread "How many queens have you seen today" nope, that won't work. :-)
