Even with the best medical care available, I see the most likely future for the senior Royals, Prince Phillip, QE2 and the Queen Mother being working themselves to death.

This would clear the way for the younger Royals and increase support for the monarchy. If you wanted to go into it, I'd have QE2 dropping dead during a visit to a hospital or refugee camp, perhaps during a speech about everyone being in it together and the need for sacrifice to make Britain great again.
Nice idea, I may well go for this.
