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.

@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.
