Who can get a congratulatory message from the Queen?
The Queen sends congratulatory messages for: • Diamond, sixty-fifth and Platinum (seventieth) wedding anniversaries and every year thereafter, • and for the one hundredth and one hundred and fifth birthdays and every year thereafter. These are sent only to citizens of The Queen’s Realms or UK Overseas Territories. Relatives or the individuals themselves must apply in advance of the date for which the message is required, since no automatic notification is received by Buckingham Palace when a special birthday or wedding anniversary is reached.
