Interesting coincidences here.

First, the vagaries of Easter dating mean that the Queen is celebrating her birthday by doing the Royal Maundy Service today.

Second, Prince Charles today overtakes Edward VII as the longest serving heir apparent, at 59 years, two months and some days. The next anniversary for him will be in about two years' time, when he overtakes William IV as the oldest monarch at the time of his accession.

To be completely accurate, THAT record will only be reached if and when Charles actually ascends the throne.  Not to be morbid, but the current average lifespan for a British man is 77.  If Charles turned out to be average, and if HM The Queen achieves her mother's lifespan, it is plausible she could outlive him.

HM attended the Maundy Service at Westminster Abbey this morning with The Duke:

It is truly amazing how many major events Her Majesty has seen across her long reign.  The first British monarch to visit China.  The first to welcome a Pope to Britain in 450 years, the first to visit a mosque, and now the first to visit Ireland in a century.  Each one she carries out in her unique and memorable manner and style.  Cheers.
