New stamps are a love letter to Harry and Meghan ahead of Royal Wedding

They will be released on the say of the wedding

Stamps featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are going on sale to celebrate the royal wedding.

The Royal Mail has produced a special set of four stamps showing two of Harry and the American star's romantic, intimate engagement portraits.

The images for the souvenir miniature sheet were taken by New York-based photographer Alexi Lubomirski at Frogmore House in Windsor in December.

Lubomirski, who has described the couple as being "so deliciously in love", has also been chosen by Harry and Ms Markle as their official wedding photographer.

The stamps will be released on the morning of the wedding, which takes place this Saturday at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Harry and Ms Markle personally approved the set, as did the prince's grandmother, the Queen, who had the final say.

Royal Mail is expecting the set to sell well, just like the stamps released for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding.

"It is common for us to mark major royal events. In 2011, the royal wedding issue was exceptionally popular," Mr Parker said.

The stamps will be available from 7,000 Post Offices nationwide from May 19.
