In many Middle Eastern monarchies the succession went not from father to son but to the oldest male in the family. There may be some pretenders who are older than Charles is.
Had Grandduke Jean not abdicated his heir Henri would be getting close to Charles.

The Prince of Wales turns 70 years old today. Are there any European monarchies that have ever had an heir (apparent or presumptive) who was 70 or older?
