www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64554857The profile was designed by Martin Jennings for use on coins, and has been digitally adapted for stamps. I guess these stamps will be known as the Jennings definitives! The stamps will be available from 4th April 2023.

The stamps will be available from 4th April 2023. I have to admit, I was really surprised when I looked at this image. With the crown being such a prominent feature on the queen’s stamp, I expected there to definitely be one on the king’s! (And I know my opinion doesn’t really count, as an outsider, but I kind of wish he did have a crown in it) Also, you may laugh, but it somehow never occurred to me, until I read this post, that the Queen Elizabeth stamps would be switching to King Charles. Seems obvious, but I’d never really thought about it before… Seeing the Machin stamps on British mail was just so standard…and soon to be a thing of the past?

This reminds me of the time new coins needed to be issued in Sweden. They were already done and in rotation when our king decided that he though he looked too thin haired on the coins, and they had to be retracted and re-issued with more hair. Such a wise thing to spend money at!
The reminder in form of a whole bunch of things that need changing becuase of the monarchy (I'm not a fan) and the costs surrounding it.
