Australia Post is celebrating the recent royal visit to Australia of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with HRH Prince George of Cambridge with a new stamp release featuring memorable engagements during their visit.
“We are pleased to mark the royal visit to Australia of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George with the release of this stamp issue and we trust this commemorative stamp issue will also be very popular.” Australia Post Philatelic Manager, Michael Zsolt commented.
Australia Post is encouraging stamp collectors and followers of royal and special events to put their orders in early to avoid disappointment.
Mr Zsolt commented that this was the first official visit to Australia for the Duchess of Cambridge and the third for the Duke, who visited Queensland and Victoria as recently as March 2011. Prince William’s first royal visit to Australia was as a nine-month-old in the company of his parents, The Prince and Princess of Wales, on their official tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1983.
