Queen Elizabeth II has been Britain’s monarch for the longest time, as such Royal Mail has made four new stamps to honor her.

King Charles III gave his approval to the first pictures of Her Majesty from different times during her reign that will be used on the new commemorative stamps.

After Queen Elizabeth died at the age of 96 on September 8, the new ruler took her place.

On the first class and second class stamps, there are pictures of Her Majesty from 1952, when she took office, to the 1990s.

On the first-class stamp is a picture of the Queen taken by royal photographer Cecil Beaton in London’s National Portrait Gallery in 1968. She is standing in her admiral’s cloak.
