Last year, King Charles III, a great-grandmother of Edward, sent a postcard to the woman on the occasion of her 115th anniversary. The anniversary was the second youngest of the eight children in the family. Her sister Gedis Babilas also survived up to 104 years old. Kateryham herself was destined to witness a number of historical events: from the First World War and the Titanic catastrophe to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
"Ethel and her family are very grateful for all the good messages and interest in her on the occasion of this celebration," - said in a statement of a home for the elderly in Lighting. According to the staff, her birthday woman spent his love with loved ones. Ms. Katerym survived 27 British prime ministers as well as six monarchs. She married in 1933 for military Norman Kateryham, with whom she lived in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Gibraltar.
The couple raised two daughters who have already died. She now has three grandchildren who regularly visit her grandmother. In 2020, she told BBC Radio Surrey that the secret of longevity sees in a calm attitude to life: "I calmly perceived everything, both up and fall. I traveled the whole world and now live in a wonderful home, where everyone treats me with love. " Recall that the oldest man in history is considered Frenchwoman Jeanne Louise Kalman, who died in 1997 at the age of 122 and 164 days.
