New ‘everyday’ stamps featuring the image of King Charles were revealed for the first time, the latest item in Britain to get a makeover following the death of Queen Elizabeth. From coins and banknotes and to the official royal cypher used by the government, Britain has been slowly introducing replacements featuring the new monarch since his mother’s death in September.

But he added that they had “moved on now” and that he didn’t want to “rake back through the coals”. His comments came as Rishi Sunak faces…
