    Political Frailty

    Marco Luzzago, Lieutenant of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta since November 2020 dead at 72: Grand Commander Ruy Gonçalo do Valle Peixoto de Villas Boas, 82, now apparently the interim Lieutenant (again). Former lieutenant/grand commander Ludwig Hoffmann-Rumerstein is still alive at 85 and apparently I mentioned him the last time I reported the death of a Order of Malta "head of state"/"monarch"

    Hospitalised!

    Valentin Uritescu's condition has stabilised and he is now "in good condition". Or in what is a good condition for someone who has suffered from parkinson's for 47 years and is now in very late stages. Zeta Emilianidou still "critical and in serious condition"

    Non-British Royals

    Added Marie Christine of Liechtenstein and Sheikh Tahnoun of the UAE. I won't even go down the rabbit hole of Saudi royals as there are a total of around 10,000 of them (most of which you can't find anything online), but the last notable Saudi royal born before QEII seems to have died a couple of years ago.

    MMMDP 2022

    Well seems like the Mexican media is now focusing on El Bronco's legal troubles. Zeta Emilianidou is still critical in coma as she has been for the last few weeks, someone said on facebook yesterday that "only god can bring her back to us" Last time I heard of Abdel Rahman Abou Zahra, he was apparently (again) deteriorating. Incredibly tough guy.

    The Cardinals Of The Roman Catholic Church

    Well here's an updated version of Drol's list, as 6/10 of the original list died are now dead in under 14 months. Pope Benny not included, if he was he'd be on the fifth place. 1. Jozef Tomko (1924-2022) Health: Now the oldest cardinal at 98 still in good health, able to stand and walk without aid but sounds slightly frail. 2. Alexandre do Nascimento (1925) Health: Seems to be doing pretty well, actually. (For a 97-year-old). Obese and walks with a stick. 3. Estanislao Esteban Karlic (1926) Health: Frail and needs aid walking but still sharp and hasn't declined much during the last year. Picture taken a few days ago. 4. Emmanuel Wamala (1926) Health: Hospitalised repeatedly a few years ago, rumored dead last month and before that in February. Looks very bloated in that picture from the 13th of May, frail. 5. Julio Duarte Langa (1927) Health: I have no idea, I can't find anything recent about him. Either incredibly low profile or he's been ill for years. 6. Friedrich Wetter (1928) Health: Frail? Rarely appears in public. 7. Ernest Simoni (1928) Health: The "Living Martyr" of Albania seems to be doing fairly well, obese but able to walk without aid and gives long speeches. 8. Walter Brandmüller (1929) Health: Seems to be doing fine, but another one who quite rarely appears in public. 9. Michael Michai Kitbunchu (1929) Health: Has been frail and unable to talk clearly for a few years. 10. Adam Joseph Maida (1930) Health: Frail, obese and completely unrecognizable from what he looked like around a decade ago. A year ago the youngest in the top 10 was 94. Now the youngest on the list is 92.

    Non-British Royals

    Updated to add pictures. Seems like a frail group Is she still alive? One source says that she died in September 1956, but according to "eurohistoryjournal" she was alive in 2015. I haven't been able to find any pictures of her taken during the last 79 years.

    He (or she) is Risen!

    Comical Ali/Baghdad Bob again rumored dead on Zuckerbook and Muskter, one of the facebook posts even got over 73 thousand reactions: https://www.facebook.com/103445328252263/photos/460164272580365/ However, once again... https://palsawa.com/post/344595/حقيقة-وفاة-محمد-سعيد-الصحاف-وزير-الإعلام-العراقي-في-عهد-صدام-حسين "The news of the death of Muhammad Saeed Al-Sahhaf is completely false, as he is still in good health, despite his advanced age, and is practicing his normal life in Dubai, United Arab Emirates"

    Former First Ladies

    Ukraine's in-exile First Lady 1989-1992 and widow of in-Exile President Mykola Plaviuk who died a decade ago Yaroslava Plaviuk is probably still alive at 96. Her predecessor Helga Livytska is "alive" on wikipedia, but I doubt she is.. Mykola Livytskyi died in his 80s in 1989 and I can't find anything about Livytska on the internet.
