    I see it from almost the opposite perspective.  I think it's more that she sees it as her absolute duty to keep on serving the country until she is completely unable to, and my guess is advisers and Charles etc have been attempting to lighten the load for a long time and only now is she starting to accept that she has to start letting go.  I'm sure I've seen it written or said several times by people that would know first hand, that she absolutely would not countenance abdicating, partly because she sees it as a cowardly act after her Uncle did it and the impact it had on her father who never wanted to be King.

    The difference is that Charles has been groomed to be King since birth; George VI (Queen's father) was not being prepared from a young age to be King, and it only really became apparent he might end up as King during the later years of George V's reign.

    Obviously wish Lizzy the best with her health, but I think her passing might be the catalyst for Australia to leave the Commonwealth. At this point, it just feels like a matter of formality that we’ve stayed in for so long.

    Australia wouldn't automatically leave the Commonwealth organisation by ditching the Queen as head of state. Barbados have just done so and retain membership of the Commonwealth of Nations, though at this point it's not exclusive to ex-British colonies as they've accepted non-British colonies Mozambique and Rwanda.
