Should she follow the example of Dutch Be and take early retirement?

Yea, she should let Big Ears take over while she sits with Phil the Greek in his evening time.

Chuck must have been peed off when he heard the news from Holland.

He knows Mumsy is going to try to outlive him. The thought of Horseface as Queen must haunt her royal dreams.

She has a plan for that, Big Ears is in his 64th year and Betty is just waiting until next year when she can declare he is past the default retirement age then she will pass it on to Wills and Doors-to-Manual will be the new Queen Mum! (or something)

Definitely shouldn't abdicate. In 2015 she'll become the longest reigning British monarch.

If she lives to 101 (which her mother did) she'll have been on the throne 75 years and probably out lived Chuck.
