Indeed. How old is Her Majesty now?
When she passes, will Charles become the oldest man to ever assume the throne?

+1 An amazing life story there.

She's 94. According to my sources, the oldest British monarch to ascend the throne was William IV, at 64. Charles is 72.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525.

@doctor-phibes How is Charles' health? Will he outlive his mum?

The intensely private prince will likely be remembered for his early efforts to help modernize the royal family’s image during a time of great change for Britain and the world, especially at the outset of Elizabeth’s reign in 1952. He also developed a reputation for the occasional brusque comment and crass, if not racist jokes.
Because, of course.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Oh, he's famous for making off-the-cuff dodgy remarks. He once said to somebody working in Asia that they'd get slitty eyes if they worked there too long.

Some real clangers in there. I recall him dropping one in Calgary back in the '60s when he was presented with a white cowboy hat. Something to the effect he was sure it would make a good flower pot or some such thing. Gave more than a few people something to harumpf about for a few days.
