  • 50th Anniversary - does it rate a note from the Queen?

    Is it standard practice to get a letter from the Royals for a 50th Anniversary? How would I go about getting one quite promptly? (Just suddenly thought of it and their anniversary is mid-December)

    I have a feeling that it is for the 60th anniversary, Margaret, but I'll see if I can find anything to confirm that...

      Hi Margaret

      Unfortunately a 50th anniversary does not qualify for a telegram from the Queen. See this site :
      The Monarchy Today > Queen and public > Anniversary messages > Who is entitled?

      It looks like they will have to wait for their diamond (60th) one !

              At least you've got ten years to organise it now!

                  Val if you write you may get a letter anyway. I saw on tv recently the Queen employs about 3-4 ladies in waiting whose job is to sort and reply to the mail that the Queen doesn't. No idea how long it would take to get a reply.

                      Oops sorry Val. Margaret it's worth writing off to see if you can get a reply.
