While the stamp was issued in 1986, the photo with the M3 and 50/2 in hand was taken back in the 1950s, when she was still quite youthful. But I believe she was using that M3 well into the late 1970s or later -- I have seen photos of her in full maturity at various horse races with that trusty M3 around her neck. Elizabeth II currently uses an M6 classic, in silver chrome. While Lager illustrates a Leicaflex with ERII's logo engraved, I've never seen any evidence of her really being a Leica SLR user. I feel certain that she is not awaiting a digital Leica with any of the enthusiasm displayed by so many LUGgers. Her Majesty simply does not do Photoshop.
