Stamps

Princess Charlotte and stamps
Few stamps pay homage to
Princess Charlotte. However, there
are a few of note. First, these Red
Cross sheets from 1949, where
she is shown with her son Prince
Rainier III, each in two different co-
lours, corresponding to different
values. Later, in 1981, a stamp
with her effigy was issued based
on a portrait by the painter Philippe
Alexius de Lazlo. Lastly, in 1998, a
beautiful stamp was issued cele-
brating the hundred years of her
birth.
An interesting surcharge was ap-
plied to the Orphelins de guerre
series from 1919 to celebrate
Princess Charlotte’s wedding. The
surcharge was based on the diffe-
rent stamps. It either indicated the
date of the event, 20 March 1920
or added, in addition to this date,
a surcharge of 5c+5c or 2+3c. The
highest value (5F) was sold on
Delcampe for several thousand
euros.
