Possibly the stamp that holds the record for errors.
How many can you see?

You know you shouldn't answer a question with a question, Blair?
anyhows,
1. The stamp image shows the Prince of Wales, not Prince William of Wales.
2. The gentleman's attire, clashes with the Princess' azure blue day suit.
(It should be light grey)
3. Although being from the House of Windsor, his necktie knot, is a "double
simple"
4. The affectionate name of Prince William (Wombat) is not shown on the
stamp.

( I have discounted the alternate title "Prince William of Whales" as the
stamp would then have the WWF emblem)

Have I missed any?

Only one. The 96c overprint is on the WRONG STAMP.

The Royal Wedding stamp was overprinyed for Prince William's birth.
The 96c was overprinted on the regular Royal Wedding issue,
but some were done on the Prince William stamp in error. 8*)

Original stamp $2 issued 1981-07-29 (Scott 660).
Original stamp $2 surcharged + 5c issued 1981-11-10 (Scott B98)
(semi-postal)

Original Opt. Prince William of Wales $2 issued 1982-07-12 (Scott
680).

Original stamp # 660 $2 surcharged 96c issued 1983-08-12 (Scott 715).
Error - stamp # 680 $2 surcharged 96c issued 1983-??-?? (Scott
715var).
(SG 909ba)

Original stamp $2 surcharged $9.40 issued 1987-02-?? (Scott 981).

I see,
I should have known, IIRC the Cook Islands attracts some disparaging
press from those in the trade, with its plethora of overprints and errors.

Yes, that's the point.
If one had a full collection of the Cook Islands,
it would be quite valuable fiscally, but philatelically pertinent?
Somewhere between the Dunes and GB.
