Prince Charles Edward Stuart, a.k.a. Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Young Pretender, King Charles III (issued February 29, 2016)


The first day cover of the Prince Charles Edward Stuart stamp (click on the image for a larger image)

The latest stamp issued by my land-locked, two-square-foot estate of Transcamster Bog shows Prince Charles Edward Stuart, also known as the Young Pretender, Bonnie Prince Charlie, King Charles III, and the King Over the Water to his followers. It shows the portrait of the Prince by Antonio David. This year marks two Jacobite anniversaries: the 270th anniversary of Prince Charles' defeat at Culloden on April 16, 1746, and the 250th anniversary of the "accession" of Charles Edward Stuart as King in exile on January 1, 1766. 

In the interests of bi-partisanship, Transcamster Bog will issue a stamp to commemorate the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II on April 21, 2016.


The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).
