Re: The 1st birthday cards by the King and Queen...
Up until 1999 a telegram was sent to those celebrating their 100th and 105th birthday's. The Queen decided she wanted to make it more personal and the cards were introduced. I'm unsure when the 105th birthday congratulations were introduced. My parents (with a little help from me corresponding with the royal household) received a card in 2018 congratualting them on reaching their Diamond (60th) Wedding Anniversary. My Mum treasures that card.
