The United Kingdom's Royal Mail on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023 (Thursday in Manila) unveils the first postage stamps to feature the image of King Charles 3rd, following his ascension to the throne last September. The new so-called definitive stamp — intended for everyday use and consisting solely of the monarch's head, the stamp's value and a barcode — will go on general sale from April 4. The image, which was approved by Charles himself, is adapted from the official effigy that appears on new UK coins after he succeeded his mother, Queen Elizabeth 2nd, who died on Sept. 8, 2022.
