This statistic shows the results of a poll which asked 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 in the event that she were to become too ill to carry out her duties. There was a pretty even split between respondents, although * percent were unsure.
