Royal Mail reveals image of King Charles to be used on stamps

Royal Mail reveals image of King Charles to be used on stamps

The image of the King which will feature on first and second-class stamps has been revealed, with Royal Mail expected to make them available for the public to buy from 4 April.

This image shows the king with his face facing to the left. It is known as a definitive stamp. The stamp uses an adaptation of the portrait that can be used on new UK coins. This tradition dates back to 1840 when Queen Victoria created the Penny Black stamp.

The continuity also includes retaining the background colors of the stamps featuring Queen Elizabeth II: plum purple for first class, holly green for second class, marine turquoise for large first class, and dark pine green for large second class.

The guidance we got from His Majesty was more about continuity and not doing anything too different from what had gone before, said Royal Mail’s director of external affairs and policy, David Gold

There is no embellishment at all, no crown, just simply the face of the human being, on the plain background, almost saying: This is me and I’m at your service,? which I think in this modern age is actually rather humbling.

Royal Mail said that in an effort to minimize the environmental and financial impact of the change in monarch around 8bn letters are delivered in the UK each year. retailers will exhaust their stocks of stamps featuring the late queen before selling the new ones.

The King gave very clear directions. he didn’t want anything to be pulped, he didn’t want things being shredded, he didn’t want stock being thrown away, said Gold.

Charles is the seventh monarch to appear on a definitive stamp, sometimes referred to as an everyday stamp, which only features the monarch’s head and the value of the stamp on a plain-colored background.

Ever since the Penny Black was issued in the reign of Queen Victoria, British stamps have carried the image of the reigning monarch, Royal Mail’s chief executive, Simon Thompson, said.

Uniquely, British stamps do not have the country of origin printed on them as the image of the monarch is sufficient. The definitive stamp has become a recognisable symbol of each reign.
