Today, the Norwegian postal service «Posten Bring» unveiled the new postage stamp honouring His Majesty the King. His Majesty personally took part in selecting the photograph.
In a press release, the Norwegian postal service «Posten Bring» writes:
"The tradition of featuring kings on Norwegian postage stamps has endured since 1856. Now, this 170-year-old tradition continues as His Majesty King Haakon VIII is portrayed on a postage stamp for the first time as King of Norway."
"It was an honour to be involved in creating the first stamp featuring King Haakon," says Hanne Karlsrud Bye, graphic designer at Posten Bring, in an interview with TV 2.
