As for Prince William or Henry, despite his lack of public popularity, Prince Charles has been training for the job since he was born, he's from a long line of traditionalists - he's gonna take the job, even if he's 70+ at the time.
These comments are routinely made in England, especially after each round of bad PR by the imperial family. Fact is, the British are paying heavy taxes to support the monarchy, and when economy isn't good, and the royal family is not behaving in a dignified way, there would be some pressure.
That said, the British are a very proud group, and wouldn't want to lose face by abolishing their queen/king unless something really, really bad has transpired (e.g. if someone actually has proof that Princess Diana was ordered to be murdered).
By the way, there are talks about the complete abolishment of monarchy in England too... Does anyone think that will happen when QEII is done?
