Princess Alexandra and the Duke of Kent are definitely names deadpoolers and deathlisters should keep an eye on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Peerage website doesn't give a death date for Lady Mary's younger brother, the Hon. Michael Albemarle Bowes-Lyon. So I don't know if he's still about. Hon. Michael Albemarle Bowes-Lyon was born on 29 May 1940. He is the son of Captain Hon. Michael Claude Hamilton Bowes-Lyon and Elizabeth Margaret Cator. Hon. Michael Albemarle Bowes-Lyon usually went by his middle name of Albemarle. He was educated at Eton College, Windsor, Berkshire, England. He was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford University, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He was director of Coutts & Company between 1969 and 1993. In 1974 he was granted the rank of an earl's younger son. https://www.thepeerage.com/p948.htm#i9476 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just as a tip, and of course the Cmme may change this for 2022 without me if they wish, but - if the person has "Lord, Lady, Sir, Dame, Prince or Princess" in their name, or can be described as "direct cousin of the Queen", they sort of meet the fame requirement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! I have my eye on Princess Alexandra as she had a fall in 2019 and has been on reduced royal duties ever since but as an actual royal herself she will definitely meet the criteria. But your pointer is useful for wider considerations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Duke of Edinburgh thinks plaque unveiling is a legitimate job and thus being in the contention to be the best plaque unveiler of all time must surely be a legitimate claim to fame? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,235 Posted January 25, 2021 What I often do is look at appointments to Orders of the Knighthood on Wikipedia and see which of them was appointed the earliest as they tend to be the oldest. I only mention this because the nearly 97 year old Earl of Elgin has been a Knight of the Order of the Thistle since 1981. The second longest serving is the Earl of Airdrie who is 95 on his birthday and has been a KT since 1985. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One or two will be familiar but largely a Who's Who of "Who?". Anyway, DDP gold as they'll all obit, and all turning 93+ next year.
