By Appointment To The Queen: 8 Brands With Royal Warrants

Shop safe in the knowledge that your purchases have the official royal seal of approval.

To be bestowed a Royal Warrant is to be given the ultimate seal of approval. Warrants have been issued since the 15th-century in recognition of those who supply goods to royalty – and right now, they can only be by appointment to The Queen or The Prince of Wales (Prince Philip’s expired in April 2021, while the Queen Mother’s became void in 2007, five years after her death). Right now, there are 850 individuals and companies in the distinguished position by being appointment either to HM or HRH. These are eight of our favourites.
