Waiting....

At some point yesterday, the Queen became this country's longest serving monarch, but in the matter of "longest" records she has to give best to her son.  Prince Charles became heir-apparent at the age of three and has held that position now for 63 years. The previous longest-serving Prince of Wales was Queen Victoria's eldest son, who became William VII.  He had to wait 59 years to ascend to the throne, so Charles took that record some years ago.
