Possibly King George was able to treat his daughter with respect and not contempt because she was intelligent and able to take on the role. Charles however is like his father - none too bright, and given to put his foot in his mouth.

@callmeswivelhips You mean she got set in her ways as she got old, as most people do when they get old?

@callmeswivelhips Queen or janitor - they are both human. Almost all humans get set in their ways as they get old.

@peepachu That abdication occurred in 1936, when Elizabeth was aged 10. She became queen at age 26. Plenty of time to get used to the idea, plenty of time for those around her to prepare her. In any case, it seems she did a good job.

@Mickekzon You cannot be serious. Charles has from time to time made awful gaffs in speaking, just like his father. All of us of us who were adults in the 1990's remember the tampon recording. That indicated his low IQ in three ways: a) he had not realised that a man subject to the intense interest of the gutter press would mean the press would eavesdrop and report on a conversation conducted over an unencrypted radio link; b) it showed he was unable to express his love for Camilla in a decent literate way; c) it proved that his marriage to Diana was a sham and he was unable to control his urges. Chales said in public in 2014 that Putin was just like Hitler. One might agree with him, but a man who is a prince should realise he is a diplomat and not say such things. It will be reported in the media, and it will affect relations between Russia and Britain for no good reason. When Charles participated in a televised document signing ceremony he showed annoyance over an ink pot in his way on the signing table. A flunky had to move it. That revealed he is a spoiled brat. But a spoiled brat of normal intelligence would have realised that being on TV he should behave himself and move the damn ink pot himself. You can be confident that Elizabeth in the same situation would have moved it herself. There are more examples that show Charles is not very bright. As for the IQ requirements of a monarch, the British Monarch has incredibly powerful reserve powers. They should be exercised sparingly and carefully, but when circumstances require it, the monarch should not shy from acting. This requires much wisdom and integrity - not things that go with a low or unexceptional intelligence.
