The British monarch has the full constitutional right to abdicate the throne, and turn it over to the next in line, at any time during their reign.

Of course, abdication is seldom used.  The last time was in 1936 when King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in order to marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson.



They *can* abdicate, but it is highly unusual for a monarch to abdicate before death kinda forces them to do so.
