Romfilatelia continues the series of postage stamps dedicated to this theme of royal clothing, through the issue “The Uniforms of Royalty (III). The Queens of Romania”. These four items illustrate the Queens Elisabeta (Lei 1.90), Marie (Lei 3.30), Elena (Lei 5) and Ana (Lei 19), dressed in ceremonial attire, with ornaments and tiaras.
The first stamp features Queen Elisabeta who was amazed by the fashionable outfits of the West and the traditional Romanian folk costume. She was photographed in Romanian blouses, promoting, with her image, the Kingdom of Romania. The second stamp shows Queen Mariewho managed to invent her own clothing style. She often appeared in military uniforms, but also in nurse uniform, during the World War I.
The third item depicts Queen Elena who actively promoted authentic Romanian traditions, her photographs in folk costumes being famous at the time. And the fourth stamp features Queen Ana who was discreet both in public life and in clothing. Her less attention to fashion and gala outfits was inherited from her mother, Princess Margaret of Denmark
