World’s Oldest Person Ethel Caterham Turns 116 Today

The oldest person in the world, Ethel Caterham, is celebrating her birthday today.

She turns 116 today, Thursday, August 21, 2025.

Ethel got recognized as the oldest person in the world following the death of a Brazilian nun, Inah Canabarro Lucas on April 30, 2025.

The current oldest person in the world, a British woman, who now lives in Surrey, England, at a care home managed by Hallmark Luxury Care Homes, will quietly celebrate her birthday today.

‘Ethel and her family are so grateful for all of the kind messages and interest shown to her as she celebrates her 116th birthday this year.

Ethel has again, chosen not to give any interviews, preferring to spend the day quietly with her family so that she can enjoy it at her own pace. The King may be her one concession, understandably! Thank you again for your kind wishes on this special day’ a statement said on Thursday.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the Guinness World Records also sent birthday wishes to Ethel in a statement issued on Thursday.

‘Guinness World Records wishes Ethel Caterham a happy birthday!.

We honor her record-breaking life thus far and wish her the best as she turns 116’ the statement said.

‘Never argue with anyone, I listen and I do what I like’ Ethel had submitted a few months ago while talking about the secret to her longevity.

‘Say yes to every opportunity because you never know what it will lead to. Have a positive mental attitude and have everything in moderation’ she also submitted in 2011-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
