I have posted on this subject before,and now update...
the only British monarch in whose reign TLotR has been in
print has reached the 69th anniversary of her accession,
drawing abreast of Ar-Sakalthor of Numenor and now definitively
ahead of the Chieftain Arahad I and King Narmacil I of Gondor.
Her Majesty is still in her 95th year,and her husband in his
100th...but the records of Aldor the Old seem more attainable
day by day as Eomer's recede behind her.

persons not listed.

My next upload of this will be augmented by the addition of the
relevant named (but not unnamed) Princes of Dol Amroth.

The British monarch in whose reign TLotR was first published,
and was already first in line of succession when The Hobbit was
published,turns 95 today.

This does not affect her rank on the charts below (note the
curious gap between two Thains),but ninety-five was Thorin II's
age at the disappearance of Thrain II (though not at his death).

The charts are nonetheless revised from the last appearance as
I have included the named Princes of Dol Amroth among the holders
of other hereditary titles (forbearing to add the UNnamed Princes
thereof).

The Queen continues to get closer to Aldor the Old and further
ahead of Eomer,in terms of both life and reign.

Named hereditary titleholders of Arda reigning between 60 and 100 years:

Thorin I 99 years
Nain II 97
Arantar 96
Gloin 96
Thorin II 91
Eldacar (Arnor) 90
Cemendur 90
Tar-Calmacil 88
Tarondor (Arnor) 87
de jure and 48 de facto.Gondor's Tarondor
reigned 162 years.
