The queen should be offered medical retirement
She is obviously too old and infirm to carry out most of her duties
So why not "let her go" ?

    She could claim PIP and ESA - she wouldn't be broke......
    I'm sure her son wouldn't let her starve.

    I'm sure her eldest son wouldn't let her starve.

    That wouldn't be possible because she's above state pension age. Both of those benefits are for work age people. PIP will continue past state pension age if you're already claiming it. 
    It would be AA for her. Pension credit tops up your income depending on how much your state pension is and your circumstances. I highly doubt that she would qualify for any pension credit lol.

    Good question @SueHeath! I found this article in The Guardian from 2013 about Prince Charles, which says that he claims it, but donates it to charity. I wonder if she does the same?

    I’m sure that our queen is fine and being looked after very well by her numerous carers at Balmoral Nursing Home. 
    She’s worked hard all her life and fully deserves her respite break in Bonny Scotland. 
    Bless her.

    I agree - but forcing her to retire gracefully would appear a wise move - ask Charles

    No but she owns all of the Swans on the Thames and all of the Sturgeons, Whales and Dolphins in UK waters - does that make up for her £9k loss ?

    I`m sure that the £102.4 million that the taxpayer gave the monarchy for 21/22 will more than cover that.
