[The minimalist, unadorned picture,
with no crown on the stamp or
any other decoration,
was approved personally by the King.

"The feedback we got back was
that he wanted it to be simple,"
said Royal Mail director of
external affairs, David Gold.

"It's a very human image,
with no embellishment," he said.

The design was also intended
to provide continuity,
influenced by
the classic profile of Queen Elizabeth II
created by the artist Arnold Machin in 1967.
