Perhaps the first postcard monarch was Edward VII. Postcards were produced to mark his coronation in 1902, his funeral in 1910 and all points in between. Postcards featuring these bookend events were produced in great numbers and are therefore quite reasonably priced. With regards to publishers, the Tuck Company published many of the most desirable sets - including coronation sets for Edward VII and George V. Their Empire series was perhaps the most delightful. Sets were produced featuring many of Europe's Royal Families, so there are sets featuring, for example, the Belgian Royal Family, German Royalty and the Russian Royal Family.
Modern Royalty postcards seem to focus extensively upon Princess Diana and the Royal Weddings of the 1980's - Charles & Diana and Andrew & Fergie. The Queen Mother is also featured on modern Royalty postcards. There are also postcards featuring Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Princess Margaret and many others.
