The General Post Office in St Kitts are releasing stamps to celebrate the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The Souvenir sheets and sheet lets are being produced to mark this very historical occasion and will be on sale on 26th April 2011 ahead of the April 29th Wedding date.

Other countries issuing the special edition stamps include itutaki, Cook Islands, Gambia, Isle of Man, Grenada Grenadines, Guinea Bissau, Guyana, Liberia, Micronesia, Mozambique, Nevis, Penrhyn Island, Sierra Leone, Prince Island and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

StampNews.com reported recently that New Zealand Post were forced to recall their stamp packets because they stated that Prince William was born May 21 1982 instead of the actual date of June 21 1982. However a stamp dealer advised people not to return the stamps as they could be valuable. Of course Prince William is no stranger to this custom as he had stamps dedicated to him on his birth and also on his 21st birthday.

Stamps can be obtained through a selection of stamp dealers as well ad the postal services of the issuing countries.
