Question
in a sort of a riddle queen Elizabeth 2 is referred to as a "creator" and its somehow linked to king George the 5th
if you could help me by telling me what this could mean it would be great

also do you know a link between   king George the 5th and "seahorse" (and why does he appear on the stamp next to a seahorse)?

Answer
Hello Remi.
I have never heard of a rhyme as you describe and neither have I heard of a connection between George V and a seahorse. It may be because he served in the Royal Navy as a young man.
Where have you seen the stamp with George V and a seahorse ? When he was King stamps only bore the monarch's portrait, nothing else.
