Yeah, but isn't there a law that forbids divorcees to wear the crown? So, are they just going to ignore that and give it over to Charles?

Also, he was criticized for architecture? WFT? He didn't like a look of a building and people were piss at him for saying that? Or does the word, "architecture" means something else?
He interfered on a number of occasions leading to some plans being scrapped,

So, I skimmed that article, and it sounds actually kind of boring. I mean overall it sounds like some people do not like his style- and is that really a big scandal over where you are from?

Constitutionally the monarch is supposed to remain impartial. There was quite a big scandal when he called a planned extension to the national gallery
"a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend".
losing the job for the firm of architects which had been appointed.

The only reason to demand the monarch's resignation would be onset of mentally impairing illness. And in such a case, dementia or Alzheimers for example, I think Queen Elizabeth would agree and resign without any parliamentary encouragement.

Otherwise, though.... let them represent the state till they drop dead, if if they're able. They should be able to resign, imo, but such a resignation would be final and irreverseable. If they have served well into old age, if they've done their duty as expected of them, I would say they should have the right to step down. Your queen certainly has done her part. Not that I expect she will want to. She's like our queen in that regard. Neither she or the people want her to step down unless her health drastically deteriorates.
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.
