First Class Postcard postage to Europe and US... Not Letter (which is £1.17)

Greetings All!

I will be in London two weeks from today.

I have several elderly aunts in Croatia and parents in the U.S. All these folks are late-70's early 80's and NONE have email.
Instead, they'd all be tickled to receive postcards of Big Ben and Parliament....

Here's my problem: http://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/Royal-Mail-Our-Prices-March-2017.pdf quotes first class postage for a LETTER under 10grams to be £1.17.

But I want to send POST CARDS, not letters.

How much is postage for a postcard to Croatia (Zone 1: Europe)? What about to the US (Zone 2)?

Thank you fellow travelers! :)

Cheers

Tamara

In the UK, we don't differentiate between letters and post cards, so both would be £1.17 to both Europe and the States.

There isn't a special postcard rate so it's just the appropriate letter rate.
