Another reason may simply be because world leaders and royalty like King George V, King George VI, Edward VII ( Prince of Wales), Queen Elizabeth, King Carol and Queen Mana of Raumania, King Farouk of Egypt, Former American President Franklin Roosevelt. Adolf Hitler, Maharaja Jiyaji Rao Sindhia of Gwalior, the Nawab of Bahawalpur were known stamp collectors.

Of the very few freedoms still left to us in our regimented life today, the freedom to spend our leisure in the manner of our choice is one. Pursuit of a chosen hobby is one of the most common means of spending one's leisure. When the chosen hobby merely helps to amuse oneself while passing time, it remains a mere pastime and no more. But when the hobby not only helps to relieve one of ennui but also in an enriching experience by itself, it becomes an ideal pursuit in one's leisure. Philately or the art of stamp collection has for this reason been rightly called the King of Hobbies and the Hobby of Kings.
