English royals do not abdicate.
Unless they are decapitated, there is no such provision. And not even their consorts are allowed to completely top themselves in road accidents.:mrgreen:
Chagos:
King Edward VIII and the Wallis Simpson case of 1936 is a recent example of an English monarch abdicating the throne of England/the UK.
To all:
The English King/Queen is now a constitutional monarch with drastically reduced Royal powers and privileges. That includes the power to arbitrarily have people killed, a power which now resides solely in the House of Parliament as an antiquated form of Attainder. However political realities now prevent any branch of the British government from legally killing anyone intentionally and arbitrarily except in wartime, time of civil unrest, or as a result of covert intelligence or military operations abroad. Illegal killings are another matter but I could not possibly comment on that.
Cheers.
