The Wales Princes

The Prince of Wales is celebrating his 70th birthday on the 14th of November. As we saw in
yesterday's blog post, a photo of little Louis was released to coincide with the program Prince, Son and Heir : Charles at 70.

Now, the Royal Mail is issuing 6 stamps to mark the Prince of Wales's big day. One of the stamps features the Prince with his sons William and Harry taken in July during the RAF's centenary flypast celebrations, another shows the three Princes playing polo.

The stamps and souvenir packs are available from Royal Mail now.

Historic Stamps For The Queen's 90th Birthday

The Royal Mail has released a series of stamps and products to commemorate the Queen's 90th birthday on 21st April. 

A group photograph of the four generations of monarch and heirs was taken mid last year. As a result, the Queen, Prince of Wales, Prince William and Prince George each feature in stamps in the series. 

To ensure that Prince George was at just the right height, he stood on a pile of blocks! He was in the same outfit that he wore to meet new sister Princess Charlotte at St Mary's Hospital and again for the first portrait of the siblings taken by his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continued their week long tour of India and Bhutan yesterday. 

The royal couple made a six hour trek to Bhutan's Tiger's Nest monastery which is 3000m up a mountain side. BBC's Peter Hunt asked William if he was missing his children:

"Massively yes, of course. And we're looking forward to seeing them," he said. "They're in good hands."

The prince said that he and his wife Catherine had spoken to George and Charlotte "many times".

This has been the longest time the Duke and Duchess have been parted from two year old George and Charlotte who will be one in a few weeks.

According to Hello magazine: 
The Tiger's Nest monastery is considered the most important Buddhist temple in Bhutan. It was built in 1692 and is located close to the cave where Guru Padmasambhava – who is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan – is said to have meditated for three years, three months, three weeks and three days in the eighth century.

The royal party has just landed in Agra where William and Catherine will tour the Taj Mahal.
