my guesses:
charles
willem-alexander
felipe
haakon
frederik
charles
willem-alexander
felipe
haakon
frederik
But we know that King of Thailand is already old and sickly.
Isn't Charles the longest someone's ever been heir?

Do you really expect QEII to live to be 105?
The Queen Mother lived to be 101, almost 102. Her Majesty has access to best medicine in the world.
My great-grandmother died at 105 last year. And she was not a Queen, just a rich widow, living in Rio de Janeiro.
It's not impossible, have you ever heard about Jeanne Calment?

I just rather doubt QEII will in fact do so. My guess is that after Philip goes to his reward she will go down hill rather quickly as happens frequently with long married couples.
She's 87, I think it's time to truly enjoy the time we have her here and able because anything can change before you blink an eye.
Interesting - although creepy - discussion.
My guesses to Europe and Japan are:
1. HM King Felipe VI of Spain (2019).
2. HIM Emperor Naruhito of Japan (2024).
3. HM King Haakon VIII of Norway (2036).
4. HM King Charles III of the United Kingdom (2031).
5. HM King Frederik X of Denmark (2032).
6. HRH Grand Duke Guillaume V of Luxembourg (2035, because of abdication).
7. HSH Prince Alois III of Liechtenstein (2038).
8. HM Queen Elisabeth of Belgium (2042, because of abdication).
9. HM Queen Victoria of Sweden (2043).
10. HSH (or maybe HRH) Prince(ss) (The One Who Will Succed Prince Albert II) (2044).
11. HM Queen Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands (2047, because of abdication).
Re Denmark, Sweden and Norway, this would mean Margrethe would live to be 92, Carl Gustav to 97 and Harald to 99. Sadly, I doubt it.
These people have access to the best doctors, medicine and therapy money can buy, the best nutrition, the work they perform is not physically strenuous. And, this is equally important for the health of elderly people, they are surrounded by family, esp. Children. They keep you young. So, living well into the nineties is very likely barring accident.
