Isle of Man Post Office releases commemorative Queen Elizabeth II stamps

Isle of Man Post Office is releasing a new set of six commemorative stamps titled ‘Fashion Legacy of Queen Elizabeth II’.

The set will be issued on 21 April to mark the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth.

The stamps were developed in collaboration with Royal Collection Trust in partnership with its landmark exhibition, Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style. Each stamp features a moment from the late Queen’s reign, highlighting the evolution of her style.

The set is accompanied by a range of limited-edition collectables, including a First Day Cover and Presentation Pack, featuring commentary by Austin Mutti-Mewse, author and former curator at House of Hardy Amies, Savile Row.

A landmark release stamp sheet folder will also be issued in partnership with a number of the British Overseas Territories. This release will feature images of the late Queen captured by renowned photographer Marcus Adams and a selection of previously issued stamps.

Maxine Cannon, General Manager of Isle of Man Stamps and Coins, commented, “This issue is a heartfelt tribute to the remarkable life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II. Her fashion choices were always thoughtful and deeply connected to her role both at home and across the Commonwealth. We are honoured to work with Royal Collection Trust to bring this story to life through stamps, celebrating not only her enduring style but also the meaning and intention behind it. I am also delighted to have worked alongside a number of British Overseas Territories who have contributed their own stamps through a special joint sheet of stamps commemorating the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth.”

Fashion Designer Edward Windsor, Baron Downpatrick, commented, “A beautiful collection of stamps to fondly commemorate Her late Majesty’s timeless style.”

Sophie Windsor (Lady Frederick Windsor) remarked, “These stamps are an exquisite homage to our much-loved and missed Queen Elizabeth; these are a collector’s treasure for generations to enjoy.”

Patrick Grant, tailor and fashion designer, stated, “Muse, patron, global ambassador; these wonderful stamps commemorate the mutual love affair between Her late Majesty and British Fashion.”
