Prince George is youngest royal on Canadian stamp

Britain’s Prince George has become the youngest royal to feature on a Canadian postage stamp.

The little one appears on a new stamp alongside his parents, Prince William and Duchess Catherine, to mark his birth on July 22 and less than one week ahead of his christening in London on Wednesday (23.10.13).

Lisa Raitt, the minister responsible for Canada Post, said: ”When His Royal Highness was born, people around the world celebrated …This stamp proudly memorializes this moment in our history.”

The stamp is around for a limited time only and will become available online and at post offices across Canada on October 22.

It is not the first time a country has created a commemorative stamp in honor of the youngster as in September, and for the first time in 170 years, New Zealand Post issued the tiny tot a stamp to recognize his birth.

Photographs used were of the little one, William and Catherine taken outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London, just one day after he was born.

What’s more, Canada has already paid tribute to George’s birth after the Royal Canadian Mint unveiled two special coins and a collector coin set to mark his arrival into the world.
