When your face is on the stamps...

....you must really be king.  Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands has unveiled the new stamps bearing his image that will now be adorning envelopes of Christmas cards right across the Netherlands.  Just like that fellow new king next door, Philippe of the Belgians, this monarch of the class of 2013 is shown in a simple design with his face etched on a pale blue background.  That's another new reign stamped officially into action.
