** "Longest reigns: (1) Victoria: 63 years 216 days; (2) Elizabeth II: 59 years 96 years.[Elizabeth II has to reign until 10 September 2015 to beat Victoria.]
Queen Elizabeth II had since surpassed this when she died. Her reign was over 70 years.
** "Oldest monarch on accession: William IV, who was 64 when he became King. The next oldest was Edward VII (59). "
Charles, Prince of Wales, became King Charles III when he was 73.
** "Tallest king: (1) Edward IV: 1.91 m (6 ft, 3 in); (2) Henry VIII: 1.88 m (6 ft 2 in--about the same as Prince William, Duke of Cambridge)."
When William becomes King William V, he would tie the record as that of King Henry VIII.
This rhyme:
Willy, Willy, Harry, Steve, Henry, Dick, John, Henry three; Then three Edwards, Richard two, Henry four, five, six, then who? Edward four, five, Dick the bad, Two more Henries, Ned the lad; Bloody Mary she came next, Then we have our Good Queen Bess. From Scotland we got James the Vain; Charlie one, two, James again. William and Mary, Anna Gloria, Four Georges, William and Victoria.Edward, George, the same again, Now Elizabeth---and the end.
Now this line would be this way: "Then Elizabeth II and now Charles III."
