The Queen has given a stamp of approval to New Zealand Post's tribute to Prince William's upcoming wedding. The royal wedding stamp issue will go on sale from tomorrow.
The stamp set features Prince William and fiancee Kate Middleton in both a formal pose and a relaxed embrace. Both are $2.40, which is how much it costs to send a standard letter to the United Kingdom.
The Queen had given her feedback on the design and content of the pack.
"Her Majesty conveyed that she likes the designs very much, which is gratifying," New Zealand Post Stamps and Collectables general manager Ivor Masters said.
The last New Zealand Post stamp issue for a royal wedding was in 1981 for Prince Charles and Princess Diana's nuptials.
The Royal Wedding stamp issue includes a miniature sheet, two first day covers and a presentation pack.
