95-year-old Queen Elizabeth II doesn't like being called an 'oldie' despite being the longest-reigning monarch of Britain. She recently declined the honour of being named “Oldie of the Year” by a magazine. “Her Majesty believes you are as old as you feel, as such The Queen does not believe she meets the relevant criteria to be able to accept, and hopes you will find a more worthy recipient,” a letter by her private secretary read.
