You can still get a telegram from the Queen at 100, but as it's always been, it isn't automatic. Someone has to write to the palace beforehand, to inform them that the person in question is approaching 100.

There's no such thing as a telegram any more. You get something called a telemessage which is really a letter from the Queen instead. (Or an e-mail perhaps?)
