This statistic shows the results of a poll which asked 1,859 Great British adults in 2014 whether they felt that Queen Elizabeth II should remain Queen for the rest of her life, or whether she should retire, passing the throne to her heirs. Over half of respondents believed she should remain Queen for her entire life.
Looking to the future, do you think that the Queen should remain monarch for as long as she lives, or do you think she should retire and let the throne pass to her heirs?
