In the first change to stamp silhouettes since 1968, the King's image is not depicted wearing a laurel wreath as the Late Queen did
The Royal Mail has released the first set of stamps which feature King Charles III's silhouette in the corner.
Royal Mail said the new 10-stamp series will be a significant milestone in British postage stamp history. After Davidson created a likeness of Charles that would work in miniature on a stamp, the image was then digitised and fine-tuned to ensure a likeness to the new Definitive ’everyday’ stamp. "His Majesty is known to be a passionate gardener and we are delighted that the first Special Stamps to feature his silhouette should be a celebration of some of the most popular flowers in British gardens."
