When Elizabeth II dies she will be the longest lived former head of state of England. Who is the current longest lived former head of state of England?
 
Is this one of those where the husband of the Queen is Prince Regent but the wife of the King is Queen, so the longest lived would be the person who when she died was Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother?

No. It is the head of state. The Queen Mother was never Head of State. I worded the question VERY carefully. You are right to realise that there is a trick here, though. The person you are looking for lived to 85 years of age.
