The Royal Family is famous around the world for their weird and wonderful habits and hobbies. Whether it's playing polo, driving carriages or grouse hunting, the royals do have some very exclusive and posh pastimes.
But did you know that even some of the most privileged of people in the world enjoy some of the same creature comforts as us? It seems stamp collecting has proved to be a therapeutic hobby for many royals across the ages. As normal as this sounds, in true royal fashion the family’s stamp collection is valued at a whopping £10 million. The Queen is the fifth royal to add to the world famous Royal Philatelic Collection, following on from its inauguration by Queen Victoria’s son, Prince Alfred in 1864.
