Her biography is available in 24 different languages on Wikipedia. Ethel Caterham is the 38th most popular celebrity, the 1,085th most popular biography from United Kingdom and the 4th most popular British Celebrity.

Ethel Caterham is most famously known as the world's oldest verified living person (supercentenarian) since April 2025, following the death of Brazilian Inah Canabarro Lucas, and as the oldest British person ever, having become the first from the UK to reach age 116 in August 2025. She is also the last surviving validated individual born in the 1900s decade (21 August 1909). Surprisingly, despite her extreme age, she drove until 97, played bridge into her centenarian years, survived COVID-19 at 110, and received a personal visit from King Charles III shortly after turning 116.
