A Royal Warrant of Appointment is granted to recognise people or companies who have supplied services or goods to HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh or HRH The Prince of Wales.
The Queen decides who may grant Royal Warrants. Approximately 800 companies hold a Royal Warrant.
Here are some holders:
Cornelia James - supplies The Queen with gloves
Floris - for perfume
Fortnum and Mason - The Queen's Grocer and the Prince of Wales' tea supplier
Here are some photos I took in Fortnums in 2018
Bentley - for luxury cars
Swaine Adeney Brigg - umbrella maker
Barbour - for raincoats
The Goring - a luxury hotel in Belgravia
Tanquerey and Gordon's - for gin
Heinz - for ketchup and baked beans
William & Son - gold and silversmithing
Hunter - footwear, much favoured by the Queen and Prince Phillip. They both enjoy the outdoors, shooting, hunting or fishing.
Laphroag - Malt whiskey produced on the Isle of Islay since 1815.
