Despite Queen Elizabeth II having no official plans to abdicate from the throne, rumors
have been swirling around her health and what�s next for the succession of the royal family
as the longest-reigning living monarch battles the 14th day of a reported heavy cold.
The news follows a Buckingham Palace report the 90-year-old queen is stepping down as
patron from at least 25 charities � though she remains a leader in well over 500 other
national organizations.
The Palace was quick to confirm Queen Elizabeth II�s intention to remain an active patron
in the vast majority of her charitable work, while handing a small portion to Catherine,
the Duchess of Cambridge and other members of the royal family.
"Her Majesty will continue to serve as patron to hundreds of charities and institutions
but will now share this work with her family," the Palace reported in a statement Dec. 21,
2016.
"Many of the organizations listed below already have other members of the Royal Family as
vice-patrons or presidents which will ensure a smooth transition."
he possibility of a sitting monarch abdicating from the throne may seem like an unprecedented
phenomenon, but it�s really nothing new.
In fact, many monarchs around the world have abdicated in their older age to pass on power
to younger members of their family.
Of the 44 sovereign monarchies worldwide, 36 royals have abdicated in modern history,
including 20 traditional abdications (in which a younger member of the royal family assumes
the throne).
The minority of these abdications are more controversial, including seven cases of the
king or queen being forced into exile, and eight cases abolishment.
2016 was a major year for the queen, who celebrated turning 90 as well as becoming the longest-serving
monarch globally after the death of Thailand�s King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The year was also a turning point for the royal family, as Queen Elizabeth II reached
her apparent twilight, with the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Cornwall continuing
to ramp up their charity work and involvement in the public eye.
The apparent shift in focus and domestic power seemed to follow a tradition for aging members
of the royal family to transfer responsibilities to the next generations.
"This decision follows the example set by The Duke of Edinburgh who resigned from a
number of patronages on the occasion of his 90th birthday in 2011," the Palace continued.
