Rachel Meghan Markle (born 1981) is an American member of the British royal family, media personality, entrepreneur, and former actress. She is married to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, the younger son of King Charles III.

She became a princess of the United Kingdom upon her marriage to Prince Harry, entitled to the style of Royal Highness. After her marriage, she was styled "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex", being the first person to hold this title.

Sunday Stamps | Exotic Food

Some exotic (from my point of view, of course!) food that has arrived on stamps from Thailand, for today's Sunday Stamps.

Above, Joint issue Thailand-Maldives from 2019, featuring coconut and durian.

Below, 2020 New Year stamps, featuring traditional desserts: somechun and lotchon (coconut & litchi).

But you need to buy something before cooking. So, some Australian stamps from 2007 issued under the theme Market Feast: Vegetable stall in Adelaide Central Market and Sydey Fish Market.

Sunday Stamps | Peace

I have got the EUROPA 2023 Peace Stamp from several countries. It is a pleasure that it keeps arriving. This time, from Finland, Czech Republic and the Netherlands.

But there are still a lot of missing countries in my collection-to-be.

If you wish to swap this stamp (or swap it for a postcard, envelope, etc.), just let me know!

The envelope sent from Franc (the Netherlands) contained a lot more of stamps on the same topic: Peace. A beautiful gift!

And this is also a post for Sunday Stamps, dedicated today to EUROPA Stamps.

Some More Tulips

After this post in January, I have received some more tulips from Laura (the UK), Bryon & Phillip (the USA) and Fabienne (France).
