  This vast list of products also includes 3 miniature sheets claiming to commemorate the succession of King Charles III. Tastelessly the set features prominently the late Diana Princess of Wales from whom the king was divorced amid much acrimony and fails to depict the King’s second wife, Queen Camilla. Interestingly, one of the ‘stamps’ in the four ‘stamp’ miniature sheet depicts the King with Rishi Sunak, the latest British prime minister (there were 3 of them in 2022) who became the first person to occupy the office who is of south Asian heritage.
