Should the Queen die in the next year or two, I think there’s a bigger chance than ever that the family will be brought into existential question. I doubt it will actually go, as folks will be desperate to cling to the past as the country’s institutions and constituent nations disintegrate post-Brexit.
The U.K. is going to be in for a very wild ride over the next 10 years, with the potential impending death of:
The Queen
David Attenborough (one of those universally revered parts of the establishment that make people feel good)
The NHS (the privatization accelerator will be pressed once Covid is stablized)
The BBC (to be sold to Murdoch et al)
Scottish independence, Irish unification, Welsh independence becoming a genuine question
I fear the sense of shock and embarrassment from those is going to lead to some very dark times there for ordinary people there.
When Barbados left the Commonwealth there were chuds completely unironically suggesting we should nuke them as collective punishment so yeah, you're probably right, the gammons are not gonna handle the UK collapsing well at all. Fun times!
IMO the perfect lib way to get ahead of that is to pass a law that the UK becomes a republic... upon the Queen's death. It avoids the struggles that would follow her death and Charles's ascension, while not just booting out the Queen herself (because people like her for some reason) and gives the country time to prepare for the changes. For libs it would be like going out on a high note.
