Fürst Christian zu Bentheim und Steinfurt turns 100 years old today, 9 December 2023. He is doing well for his age and is spending the day with his family.
As far as I remember, he is not only the all-time oldest descendant of Frederik VIII of Denmark but also of Christian IX.

Christian IX –> Frederik VIII –> Louise (m. Schaumburg-Lippe) –> Stephanie (m. Bentheim-Steinfurt) –> Christian

He is a second cousin of the Queen of Denmark, the King of Norway and the Fürst of Waldeck-Pyrmont.
