On November 8, 2019, Norway Post issued a miniature sheet in honor of the 150th birthday of Queen Maud (1869 - 1938).

Historically, the English princess Maud, daughter of King Edward VII of Great Britain and wife of the Danish prince Charles, became the first queen of Norway as an independent state in 600 years.

At the end of the 19th century, the once powerful Sweden began to lose control over the dominated Norway. Another aggravation of Swedish-Norwegian relations took place in 1905, it ended with a plebiscite and Norway's withdrawal from the union with Sweden, as well as the proclamation of the monarchy and the invitation to the Norwegian throne of Prince Charles of Denmark. The coronation of the new king and queen took place at Nidaros Cathedral on June 22, 1906. Prince Karl assumed the throne name of Haakon VII, Princess Maud became Queen Consort, and their son became Crown Prince Olaf of Norway. Independence and a royal house of their own contributed to the national uplift of the Norwegians and the rapid economic growth of the once impoverished and backward fishing outskirts of greater Sweden. Under Haakon VII and Maud, Norway began to play a prominent role in world politics.

Queen Maud quickly gained popularity in Norway for her simplicity and sense of humor. The Queen played a prominent role in the public life of the country, she was actively involved in charitable activities, especially related to children and animals, and provided support to artists and artists. Queen Maud organized the Queen's Committee during the First World War; collected food, clothing and medicine for those who suffered the most during the war. The Queen loved sports such as skiing and horseback riding, and the royal couple even took part in cross-country skiing.

The miniature sheet's stamp features a portrait of Queen Maud, as well as a fragment of a 1911 photograph of Queen Maud and her son, Crown Prince Olaf, on horseback. Photo taken near Appleton House, the English country residence of the Norwegian royal family, in Norfolk. Prince Carl and Princess Maud were married in July 1896, and Appleton House was a wedding gift from the bride's parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales. The house was intended for the residence of the royal couple during their stay in England. Queen Maud maintained strong ties with the United Kingdom throughout her life and spent some time in England each winter, living at Appleton House. On the field of the miniature sheet, a fragment of another photograph is reproduced: Crown Prince Olaf and Queen Maud at the royal farm of Bygdøy in Norway. The miniature sheet was designed by renowned Norwegian designer Enzo Finger.
