The cover shown below was posted in Norwich yesterday and was delivered here near Dereham today, which is unexpectedly good, especially as a lot of local mail is routed through Peterborough mail centre before being returned to Norfolk.

| King Charles III 2nd Large definitive M24L used on cover 29 July 2026. |
The cost of this is £1.55, which pays no other rate, domestic or international, so this is the only way to get it used by itself (aside from deliberate underpayment). You could use it with a 5p and 20p to make the basic 1st class (standard) letter, but that might confuse.
Unlike some rates (eg 1st class domestic x 2 = 100g standard airmail worldwide), there isn't even a neat way to use two of them together: one would need to add 20p to make the 1st Large rate.
If - and it's a big IF - collectors are trying to build a collection of usages of King Charles definitives, this could be one of the more difficult if you live outside the UK.
