According to USA Today:
The death of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia on Thursday, at age 90, leaves British Queen Elizabeth II as the oldest living reigning monarch in the world.
The queen is 88, and will turn 89 on April 21, although her birthday is typically celebrated in June when the weather is better.
Meanwhile, she’s due to set other records this year: Next month marks her 63rd year on the throne, having acceded when her father, King George VI, died in February 1952.
And on Sept. 10, she pass her great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, as the longest-reigning British monarch ever.
