She must like a bit of symbolism. My first thought was there were three lions but no, the one at her feet looks like a very big dog; Irish wolfhound?. Her own real dogs are dachshunds just a little different. The same stamp was also issued in Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Sunday Stamps II theme this week is - Royalty - See It On A Postcard.

I also like all the silvery grey elegance in the second stamp.
I like the first stamp!
New to me even although I spent a lot of time in Denmark.
