Royal Wedding Commemorative Stamp (1948)
Design: Herman Schwartz
Client: Canada Post
Date: 1948
“The wedding of Princess Elizabeth to Philip Mountbatten on November 20, 1947, was commemorated by both British and Canadian Post Offices. Since the wedding announcement was made on July 9, 1947, the British Post Office did not issue a commemorative stamp because there was insufficient time to prepare an issue. Instead, a slogan postmark was made for use from November 20 to the end of November. The Canadian Post Office issued a commemorative stamp for the wedding, but only after the event, in February, 1948.”

Royal Wedding Commemorative Stamp (2011)
Design: Isabelle Toussaint
Client: Canada Post
Date: 2011
Approved by the Queen herself, these Royal Wedding Commemorative stamps will be issued on April 29, the actual wedding day of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Interestingly, there was not a stamp issued, despite all the hype, for Charles and Diana’s wedding. The last Canada Post stamp commemorating a royal wedding was issued in 1948 to honour of the nuptials of the Queen and Prince Philip, the current groom’s grandparents. I suppose this has something to do with the certainty that William will eventually be King and his first born, the next heir to the throne.
