A princess at seventy
Stamp Collector | Published 20 July 2020
HRH Princess Anne was born at Clarence House, London, on 15 August 1950, and Jersey will issue a set of stamps and a miniature sheet to celebrate her seventieth birthday on 15 August. The only daughter of HM Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne was created the Princess Royal in June 1987, a title that is traditionally carried by the British monarch’s oldest daughter and held for life.
Princess Anne began undertaking public engagements at the young age of eighteen. Since then she has built up a working relationship with many organisations and charities across the Commonwealth. Dedicated to many causes, and a sports enthusiast, HRH The Princess Royal has one of the busiest working schedules of all the Royal family members.
Princess Anne is involved with over 300 charities, organisations and military regiments in the UK and overseas, and she devotes a large part of her working life to official engagements and visits. Although dedicated to many charities and causes, The Princess has been the president of Save the Children UK since 1970 and to this day continues in her efforts for this cause.
From an early age, Princess Anne had a keen interest in horsemanship and progressed through the years to the highest level of equestrian competition. Her love of horses and eager sportsmanship has been evident throughout her life. In 1971, Princess Anne won the individual European Championship and was a member of the British three-day eventing team at the Montreal Olympics in 1976.
Princess Anne went on to become a British member of the International Olympic Committee, a position that she was able to take up with great insight of the Olympics. In 2012, London hosted the Olympic Games with The Princess Royal taking part in the successful bid to host the event and also as a member of the London Organising Committee.
Six stamps feature iconic photographs, which show HRH Princess Anne throughout the decades preceding her seventieth birthday. The 54p value shows HRH Princess Anne attending St. John’s Ambulance Cadet Review in Hyde Park on 7 July 1972. On the 70p HRH Princess Anne is pictured at her home Gatcombe Park, on the occasion of her sixtieth birthday in 2010.
The princess is pictured competing at the Olympic Games in 1976 with her horse Goodwill on the 84p stamp; and the 88p value shows her at the first day of Royal Ascot on 18 June 2019.
The £1.05 stamp shows HRH Princess Anne pictured at the Olympic Games handover ceremony at the Panathenaic Stadium, Athens, Greece on 17 May 2012; and the £1.18 sees The Princess Royal, Colonel of The Blues and Royals, during the Trooping the Colour in London on 12 June 1999.
The Miniature Sheet depicts HRH Princess Anne riding her horse, Goodwill, during the show-jumping section of the European Eventing Championship at Luhmühlen, in September 1975.

Royal Mail celebrates 40th anniversary of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series with special stamps
Royal Mail has today revealed eight Special Stamps they are issuing to celebrate Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, making the 40th anniversary of The Colour of Magic, his first book in the series. The stamps can be pre-ordered today, and will be available for general purchase as of 10 August 2023.
Fans can get their hands on stamps featuring Rincewind, The Librarian, Granny Weatherwax, Sam Vimes, and Great A’Tuin, as well as specially commissioned artworks of Death and Mort, Tiffany Aching and Moist von Lipwig, all of which are by Terry’s illustrator of choice for the Discworld series, Paul Kidby.
Royal Mail have been working closely with the Terry Pratchett Estate and Paul at the link above.
Illustrator, Paul Kidby says: “It has been a huge honour to illustrate this set of stamps to commemorate 40 years of Discworld. I am delighted to finally be able to tell people about it as it has been a big secret to keep! It’s a wonderful celebration of Terry’s ongoing legacy and continued popularity.”
David Gold, Director of External Affairs and Policy at Royal Mail says: “These striking stamps will be loved by generations both young and old. Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels remain as popular as ever and it is fitting that in the 40th anniversary year of The Colour of Magic, we celebrate with a set of stamps that honour the work of an iconic and globally admired writer.”
The Discworld stamps are available to pre-order via Royal Mail’s website, by telephone on 03457 641 641 and at 7,000 Post Office branches across the UK. A Presentation Pack including all eight stamps in the set is also available and is priced at £13.50.
If you're overseas (or in the UK obvs!) and want to get them, you can buy them online and they *will* ship overseas!

I was approached by Le Prochain Rêve to help them advertise their new Biblically Accurate Angel necklace.
They are a new brand focusing on high end jewelry for EGL as well as esoteric interests. I kind of love working with these small brands because as a creator myself, I can see where their inspiration came from and it's so amazing to work with that.
For this collection, I decided to go with a thematically related series of outfits to both highlight their product and world build a bit. It was super fun and one of my most enjoyable collaborations
1st outfit:
The High Priestess of the Order
OP, headdress: Victorian Maiden
Apron: Moi Même Moitie
Shoes: Fluevog
2nd Outdit
The Noblesse with (not so) Secret Ties to the Order
JSK and tights: Baby the Stars Shine Bright
Blouse: Millefleurs
Shoes: American Duchess
3rd outfit: the Academic with Special Interest in the Order
JSK: Jane Marple
Hat: Victorian Maiden
Jacket: Mary Magdalene
Tights: Baby the Stars Shine Bright

Happy Lunar New Year of the Dragon! 恭喜發財!
Thought it would be a nice moment to share this lovely Hong Kong Ten Dollar stamp!
Two photos of King George VI by Bertram Park were considered for use on postage stamps. The first portrait was rejected by the Royal Mint, but accepted for those produced for the Commonwealth. The second portrait was accepted for UK circulation - and it tickles me how the King’s big ear was made smaller!
Which portrait would you have chosen? (I say, screw the photos, just give me Bertie😂)

A 12p Canadian stamp from 1851. We were on sterling until 1871 and drove on the left until 1922. Much has changed - except the Crown.
