If they didnt get one on their 60th, they will be eligible for one on their 64th....

For many people, receiving a congratulatory card from The Queen to mark a significant birthday or wedding anniversary is a very special part of their celebrations.
Since 1917, the Sovereign has sent congratulatory messages to people celebrating notable birthdays and anniversaries.
Cards are sent to those celebrating their 100th and 105th birthday and every year thereafter, and to those celebrating their diamond wedding (60th), 65th, 70th wedding anniversaries and every year thereafter.
The Queen's congratulatory messages consist of a card containing a personalised message with a facsimile signature. The card comes in a special envelope, which is delivered through the normal postal channels.
The delivery of these messages is arranged by the Anniversaries Office, part of the Private Secretary's Office in the Royal Household, based at Buckingham Palace.
The Pension Service informs the Anniversaries Office of birthdays for recipients of UK State pensions. But, for data privacy reasons, there is no automatic alert from Government records for wedding anniversaries.
For this reason, to make sure that a message is sent for birthdays and wedding anniversaries alike, an application should preferably be made by a relative or friend in advance of the special day.

For my grandparents 60th anniversary I wrote to Queens Equerry at Buck Palace with all the details where,when and to whom. They received a caed from HRH herself. Go for it!

Following that then, they should have recieved one 4 years ago! Methinks they will have to wait until one of them reaches the full century to get one! You could always try writing to Buck House, they have a PR department, but I don't think you'll get anywhere!

Write to Buckingham Palace. Your letter will get to her team and will be passed along to her.
Good luck.

Usually they do it for diamond anniversaries (60) so you may have missed the boat, but worth a try.
Hope it works.

Freddie Mercury, rest his soul, would not be able to help - but the other 3 members might.
