King George observing a sign of advancing age (7)

I believe the answer is:

greying

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a sign of advancing age' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'king george observing' is the wordplay.
'king george' becomes 'gr' (Georgius Rex).
'observing' becomes 'eying' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gr'+'eying'='GREYING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for greying that I've seen before include "(Of hair) showing signs of old age" , "requiring Just for Men?" .)
