Pretty sure him and Mel Brooks are now the longest-lived current really “famous people” (also Angela Lansbury and Attenborough of course), after the death of Olivia de Havilland and Vera Lynn fairly recently…
As darkly "humourous" as this may be - I don't expect to outlive Charles, either. Hell, right now, I fundamentally do not even see myself making it long enough for his coronation to take place.

I sincerely did not expect to outlive Liz, like, at any point since I was a teen (yay, depression)…
She just seemed like a constant, always there, on the throne since before my parents were even born…
Fucking bizarre.
Fucking bizarre that Jimmy Carter, of all people, has now outlived her, too…
Wow, Jimmy Carter is still alive.
