Niue and Tokelau stamps Check out some of the latest stamp issues from New Zealand's Pacific neighbours Tokelau and Niue. Niue 2018 Royal Wedding New Zealand Post has created this special commemorative stamp issue to celebrate the wedding of Prince Henry Charles Albert David, grandson of Niue’s Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Harry, as he is better known, married Ms Meghan Markle at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle on 19 May 2018. Niue was originally settled by Polynesian sailors from nearby islands such as Tonga and Samoa. Niue first became part of the British monarchy in 1900 when it was adopted as a British protectorate and was handed into the care of New Zealand in 1901. Niue has been self-governing since 1974.

Tokelau 2018 Royal Wedding This issue features four specially selected images of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – two celebrating their engagement, and two from their wedding day. The graphic background and borders on the first day covers are based on the frangipani and the Pacific fine mat. Frangipani are found throughout the Pacific and the fine mat is used for multiple purposes, including traditional ceremonies. The finer the mat, the more valuable it is.
