Royal wedding stamps of intimate engagement portraits unveiled
Stamps featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are going on sale to celebrate the royal wedding.
The royal mail has produced a special set of four stamps showing two of Harry and the American star’s romantic, intimate engagement portraits.
The images for the souvenir miniature sheet were taken by New York-based photographer Alexi Lubomirski at Frogmore House in Windsor in December.
Lubomirski, who has described the couple as being “so deliciously in love”, has also been chosen by Harry and Ms Markle as their official wedding photographer.
The stamps will be released on the morning of the wedding, which takes place this Saturday at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
Harry and Ms Markle personally approved the set, as did the prince’s grandmother, the Queen, who had the final say.
The 1st class stamp shows the couple sitting together holding hands on the steps of Frogmore House, where they will have their evening reception.
The £1.55 stamp is a more informal black-and-white image showing Ms Markle with her arm through Harry’s as she gently holds his hand while they walk happily through the grounds. In both pictures, the former actress is wearing a sheer bodiced couture gown by Ralph & Russo.
