Two days after the death of his mother, at the age of 96, Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, at the age of 73, was officially proclaimed king, with the name Charles III.
The ‘Matchbox Museum’ features matches depicting the new king with his first wife Diana, Princess of Wales, who died young, as a memento of their marriage. These matches were released in 1981. Also there is a matchbox depicting Buckingham Palace, the royal residence in London, which is also the seat of the British monarchy.
We are not aware of any matchboxes depicting his wife Camilla.
