Does the Queen still send telegrams for 100 birthdays? If not pressumably it is a card send via royal mail? ?

Question

If you are 100 on a Sunday does it arrive on the Sat or Monday?

Answer 1

Load of c**p, when my grandmother was 100 she received a card from a secretary at Buck palace. She was a bit disappointed but I did not expect anything else. We all know what our German royals think of the english!!!!

Answer 2

The Queen will send a 'signed' card, by post, to a person reaching their hundredth birthday if a friend or relative requests it.  Don't know what day it would arrive on if the birthday fell on a Sunday; probably Saturday.

Answer 3

We don't have telegrams as such now, gone are the days when a little lad would deliver them directly from the Post Office. Most people hated them anyway as they usually bore bad news. I don't think that a card allegedly form Buck house has quite the same value these days as a lot of folk think that it is very patronising.

Answer 4

Ha ha.  I was going to ask a question about royal mail today.  I have had 3 things disappear in the post lately.  What will the queen do if your special card gets lost in her mail service?

Answer 5

Yes HM Queen does sent what is now called a Tele-Letter to any citizen on their Hundredth Birthday.  Not only that, they also get a teleletter on subsequent birthdays too.

Telegram from the Queen
