Jersey - special edition about the 18. Birthday of Prince William
To the 18. Birthday of Prince William published Jersey at the 21.06.2000 a series of 4 stamps.
Although the stamps still were not at all available, there was already a "rustling in the
newspapers" in the English press. One of the stamps shouldn't namely, like one in her/it
Report from Jersey, that shows palace Caernarvon in Wales, reads but rather
Close Beaumaris (also in Wales).
Since however, the name of the palace wasn't noted at all on the stamp, the whole one appears-
movement a little artificial, to be, maybe even a consciously provoked promotion-gimmick.

At the 16. July 2000 the small Sub-post office into Grouville was locked. The Sub-post office suffers for a long time of lacking utilization, since the traditional services of the office, namely this Pension-disbursement and money transfers, has been replaced long ago through more modern payment-forms.
