A 115-year-old British woman born in the King Edwardian era has become the world’s oldest living person, reports The Telegraph.

Ethel Caterham, who was born on Aug 21, 1909, is the oldest known Briton to ever live and the last surviving subject of King Edward VII.

As reported earlier, she is now the world’s oldest person after the previous record-holder, Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas, died at the age of 116 on Wednesday.

According to LongeviQuest and the Gerontology Research Group, research organizations that verify ages for the Guinness World Records, Caterham is now the world’s oldest person.
