What is a royal warrant and which famous companies hold one? | The Sun

DO you and the Queen eat the same breakfast cereal? Perhaps you use the same perfume as Kate? You can find this out by checking your products labels.

But what are royal warrants? And how do companies acquire them? Here's what you need to know.

What is a royal warrant?

Royal warrants of appointments are issued to companies that supply goods or services to the royals.

There are currently 816 Royal Warrant holders, from individual shops to global organisations who have been given the royal stamp of approval.

These brands don't give the royal family freebies and they do not have to be British companies.

Each warrant will usually contain the phrase: "By appointment to" and then the title and name of the royal customer and the goods provided.

From Coca-Cola to Heinz, most household brands will have a royal warrant, who which ones are they?
