新西蘭郵政局為太平洋島國紐埃（Niue)設計、上週推出的一款威廉王子大婚紀念郵票，郵票可從兩人中間撕開，變成一枚面值三點四紐元的威廉王子郵票及一枚二點四紐元的凱特郵票，被轟設計差劣和怪異，一對準新人『被迫分離』似乎不太吉利。
英國著名郵票研究月刊《Gibbons Stamp Monthly》編輯傑弗里斯（Hugh Jefferies)認為，該款郵票『令人尷尬』，設計不佳，『我肯定他們不是想惡意預言威廉夫婦容易批離但這真是詭異的設計……一對準新人肖像很好看，郵票本身亦沒有問題，只是『不幸地』易撕齒孔線落在兩人之間』。
一般而言英國白金漢宮都會預先審批紀念郵票設計，但可能上述郵票在呈交審批時並沒有中央的齒孔而順利通過。傑弗里斯相信這款『特別』的紀念郵票會獲收藏家追捧。
過去查理斯王子與戴安娜結婚時，澳洲郵政局曾推出一款兩人互相別過臉的紀念郵票，亦惹來批評。威廉王子將於四月二十九日大婚。
Royal Wedding Stamp Design Embarrassing: Hugh Jefferies
A royal wedding stamp which features Prince William and Kate Middleton has an embarrassing characteristic. It has a perforated line along the mid of the stamp that splits the couple.
The strange stamp which was officially released in New Zealand to mark the royal wedding towards the end of last month can be torn in to half and separately used as two different stamps.
Both the Royal Wedding stamps are worth 5.80 NZ dollars, however after separation the stamp featuring Middleton is a 2.40 dollars stamp and the stamp featuring Prince William is slight costlier, 3.40 dollars.
It is considered that the stamp, which was open for sale last week, will now turn into a collectors' item.
The stamps are designed by New Zealand Post.
Editor of Gibbons Stamp Monthly Hugh Jefferies commented on the stamp as "embarrassing" and also said that it has not been designed well. He commented: "Whoever designed this will have egg on their face and someone's head will roll.
"I'm sure they didn't mean to ominously suggest the couple could be easily separated; it's just a very bizarre design.” Hugh Jefferies further adds, “This kind of thing has happened in the past. When Charles and Diana got married, the Australian Royal stamp had the couple facing away from each other, which caused much criticism.
"In most countries Buckingham Palace will have to approve the design. Perhaps they were shown it without the perforation down the middle. When something like this happens the critics love it and the post office responsible can't stand it. It's also unusual that the two stamps are worth different values.”
"They are a lovely looking couple and the stamps stand alone well, it’s just unfortunate the separation line is between them."He added when he was invited to give comments by a British newspaper: "There is quite a big take up with collectors for this type of thing and no doubt they will have a wry smile on their faces when they file this stamp in their books."
