Colin Firth Success and postage question

Mailed photo with LOR and SASE on 3/20/22 to 'Colin Firth Independent Talent Group Ltd., 40 Whitfield Street, London, W1T 2RH UK' and received it back, signed and personalized, on 5/12/22.

On my SASE, I included $5.80 (£4.75) in postage. When I received the envelope back, it appears someone applied an additional £4.20 stamp ($5.13), which suggests the amount of postage to send a large envelope with a single 8×10 photo from London to USA amounts to £8.95 ($10.93). As that amount seems higher than it should be, I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can tell me if that total amount of postage is right.

Thank you so much for the screenshot and the link. I guess Colin Firth just threw a stamp on there to bump up the delivery method--such a great guy who truly loves his fans. 🥰
