Royal Wedding 1981
Stamp Type:
Stamp Details:
14p
25p Portrait of Charles & Diana
Producer/Series:
Royal Mail/Post Office
Postmark:
Althorp, Althorp House,
Special Handstamp
Notes:
Frances Ruth Shand Kydd was the mother of Diana, Princess of Wales. Ruth Sylvia Roche, Baroness Fermoy was a friend and confidante of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and the maternal grandmother of Diana, Princess of Wales. These are extremely rare signatures. I strongly suspect that this is a 'one off' and comes with a letter of authenticity
