QUEEN TOLD TO CALL IT QUITS!
But Elizabeth, 96, defies the royals & vows to die on the throne
FRAIL Queen Elizabeth is being pressured to renounce the throne as her health plunges and she faces a devastating new mental health crisis amid fears the 96-year-old monarch’s suffering from the early stages of dementia!
Her Majesty’s fragile condition was on full, tragic display during the four-day Platinum Jubilee celebration of her 70th year on the throne, where she appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony to view the opening Trooping of the Colour on June 2 but wasn’t up to attending a thanksgiving prayer service the following day. Elizabeth struggled to show up for a final appearance at the conclusion of the ceremonies — but was in deep pain, palace courtiers reveal.
With the historic tribute finished, Elizabeth is being pushed to surrender her throne to son Prince Charles, 73, as the palace’s Men in Grey furiously work to “protect” the full extent of her fast-plunging “mental and physical frailty” from the British public.
“While they won’t admit it openly, family members are heavily pressuring Elizabeth to step down and name Charles as her successor,” tattles a royal insider.
“The truth is Charles has already taken over many of her duties behind the scenes. The job has become too much for someone in their 90s.
“Even public appearances like those at her jubilee were too much for her condition.
“It took every ounce of her strength to stand on the palace balcony with the rest of the family and review the parade below.
“Also, many believe her mind’s being ravaged by the beginnings of dementia — and it’s only downhill from here.”
Royal expert Howard Hodgson, author of Charles: The Man Who Will Be King, is one of those insisting the queen is showing an “acceleration of deterioration.” He blames most of her collapse on the shattering death of her beloved hubby, Prince Philip, in April 2021 at age 99.
“She always loved Prince Philip, and the situation was that when you actually lose somebody that you’ve been with for over 70 years, it is a very big drain on you and it must be quite lonely without him,” says Hodgson.
“Very often, when one partner dies, the other one errantly either dies in a short space of time too or could be in a situation of actually becoming much more reclusive and depressed.” Hodgson predicts the public will see very little of Her Highness in the future due to her failing condition — especially her crumbling mental health.
GLOBE has previously reported Elizabeth now uses a scooter to get around in the palace because standing and
walking are a drain on her frail condition.
Hodgson expects the family to keep her from being seen as a doddering old woman.
“The queen deserves to have every dignity and as a result of that I think they will make sure we don’t see too much of her,” he says. Meanwhile, behind-thescenes, Charles’ scheming wife, Camilla, 74, is working overtime trying to get the queen to quit so her hubby will be crowned and she can reach her dream of sitting on the throne next to him, courtiers say.
“Ever since first seducing Charles when she was a teen, Camilla has dreamt of being queen,” says an insider. “She succeeded in destroying his marriage to Princess Diana and becoming his wife.
“Now, she’s just a hair’s breadth away from the throne — and she can barely wait for the queen to retire — or drop dead!”
