Queen Elizabeth II decision to step down from the throne or continue to rule is currently under speculations. Many claims that she has decided to put an end to her era in the rule because of her health, while other believes that Kate and Prince William are not ready to replace the Queen yet.

According to Daily Star, it was previously reported that Queen Elizabeth is preparing to step down from the throne due to her poor health. And after Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles took the helm of family's church trip on Christmas, rumors started flying around Prince's Charles' role as the new king.

Queen Elizabeth has been suffering from cold this holiday season and the doctors have advised her to take rest and be indoors. Royal fans believe that she will finally step down because of her health issues.

However, some rumors contradict this theory. According to new reports Queen Elizabeth's retirement plans have been postponed for the time being.

According to the insiders, Queen is worried that if she steps down then Britain's monarchy won't survive due to the lack of a proper ruler. No one in the royal family is ready to put on her shoes yet.

Royal commenter John Lloyd stated that royal admirers prefer Prince William than Prince Charles. They are expecting Prince Charles to give up his throne rights for his son.

However, source admitted that although Prince William and wife Kate Middleton are very popular among fans and well loved but they are not dedicated enough to sit on the throne. They would rather travel around the around on vacations than involve themselves in royal duties.

According to ABC News, if Queen Elizabeth steps down or dies then the royal rule book suggests her son Prince Charles to rule next.

But insiders claim that The Queen knows Charles is not her first preference. It was rumored that she is planning to pass on the help of her duties directly to Prince William, skipping his father.

But recent gossips hint even Prince William is not her favorite anymore. Queen Elizabeth has thus reportedly decided to get back to work despite her poor health.
