Petvre I think the above lady is listed 1 time in the database. The simple solution is to manually adjust to the version with the correct date.

However, I suspect that the person is also known as Elizabeht of the United Kingdom.
Is that right?

In that case there are 3 stamps that need to be adjusted.

Petvre it concerns three stamps, the one from 2002 is also wrong. I have since learned from Google that the Queen mother was also called Elizabeth and the recently deceased queen was Elizabeth II, but I think that is because there was already an Elizabeth I in the Middle Ages.

In the meantime I have adapted all three stamps with the people theme:
Elizabeth of the United Kingdom (1900-2002) (Bowes-Lyon, Elizabeth)

An administrator can still decide to deviate from it with a review.

It is indeed about the "Queen Mother", widow of George VI of the United Kingdom (1895-1952) . She was queen from 1936 to 1952, when her husband died and her daughter Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom (1926-2022) took over the throne.

The Postage Handbook doesn't really specify how to deal with names like this, but in my opinion the designation Elizabeth of the United Kingdom is not appropriate in this case because she has never been head of state.
By comparison, her grandson Charles III of the United Kingdom (1948) was named Charles of Wales on LD until last year.

And if you want to be consistent you should (I think) use the same argument for Máxima , Amalia , Alexia , Ariane , Christina , Irene , Margriet , Constantijn and Anna . Not all of them "der Nederlanden".

stripspeldjes I chose the name of Elizabeth of the United Kingdom for the above case because it already had more than 8000 stamps on it and it was clearly the same person.

This can, of course, be adjusted if there is a need for this in a wider circle. I myself also found the term a bit confusing, but in NL we now also talk about Queen Maxima, while she is not the head of state. I don't know if she was called Queen in England at the time, I only know her as Queen-Mother.
