Mary Davidson Smith, an Edinburgh resident, celebrates her 105th birthday, drawing attention for the messages she receives for the milestone. According to multiple reports, she receives a large number of birthday cards—reported as 105 cards for her 105th birthday—highlighting the support she continues to receive at her age. Both outlets say her collection includes cards from members of the UK royal family. She is described as having received a birthday card in the past from Queen Elizabeth II and is also reported to receive a card from King Charles III. The articles present her birthday milestone as a moment of recognition rather than a broader political or health development, focusing on her longevity and the personal significance of the royal correspondence. The accounts agree on her name, age, location in Edinburgh, the number of cards she receives, and that the cards come from Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III. They do not provide additional details about her personal “secret” for a long life beyond the theme of sharing her perspective on longevity on her birthday.
