World Stamp Today:
FEBRUARY 08, 2023
Great Britain's Royal Mail revealed on February 8, 2023 the new King Charles III definitive stamp.
The King personally approved the stamp and unlike the stamps featuring his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, he is not wearing a crown.
"The feedback we got back was that he wanted it to be simple," said David Gold from the Royal Mail.
Even without the crown, the new stamps have been designed to look similar to the ones featuring the image of the Queen.
It was in 1967 when the stamps with the Queen's profile - which usually means the side-view of a person - were first designed.
The design of the King Charles III stamp is based on a sculpture made for new coins featuring the King's face.
The same image has been adapted for the stamps, with millions now being printed.
