New ‘everyday’ stamps featuring the image of King Charles III were unveiled for the first time, the latest item in Britain to get a makeover following the death of Queen Elizabeth. From coins and banknotes and to the official royal cypher used by the government, Britain has been slowly introducing replacements featuring the new monarch since his mother’s death in September. The new stamp, which will go on general sale at the start of April, consists solely of the king’s head and its value on a plain coloured background.

In tandem with a tradition dating back to the first Penny Black in 1840, the new stamp uses an adapted version of a portrait of Charles which is also appearing on new coinage. The new stamp will go on general sale at the start of April. It consists solely of the king’s head and its value on a plain coloured background. With this, King Charles is the seventh British monarch to appear on a definitive stamp. The Royal Mail also informed that existing stamps with Queen Elizabeth’s image will remain valid and in distribution until stocks are exhausted.
