All Of The Royal Warrant Holders Selected By The King & Queen (So Far)

BBC/Oxford Film and Television

When the late Queen Elizabeth II sadly passed away, the circa 800 companies holding her royal stamp of approval had only two years remaining to display her coat of arms. With her son, King Charles III, settling into his role as monarch, it was only a matter of time before he unveiled his own selection of preferred companies, with Queen Camilla selecting seven of her favourites, too. Here are all of the Royal Warrant holders granted their status in May 2024, plus what will happen next.

King Charles & Queen Camilla’s Royal Warrant Holders

As of May 2024, 145 companies were granted the King’s Royal Warrant in a first round of grants, with seven companies selected by HM Queen Camilla, too. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, royals with the ability to grant Royal Warrants were HRH The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh before his passing, alongside the Queen herself. King Charles’ first batch of grants were made to companies who previously held a Royal Warrant of Appointment to His Majesty while he was the Prince of Wales. Companies who held a single Queen Elizabeth II Royal Warrant are currently being reviewed for new Royal Warrants under the King, and successful applicants will be revealed later in the year.

What Is A Royal Warrant?

Royal Warrants have been granted for centuries as a way of recognising the brands that have supplied goods to senior royals. The monarch decides who can grant them (the ‘Grantors’), with King Charles deciding that he and Queen Camilla can award them.

How Do You Get A Royal Warrant?

The criteria for qualification is notoriously strict. Even the newest warrant holders will have been used regularly by the household for at least five years – a fact that will have been stringently checked by the Association of Royal Warrant Holders’ selection committee. The select trusted brands are permitted to display the Royal Arms of the relevant household on their packaging – or all three. The practice of awarding warrants began in 1155, when Henry II granted the Weavers’ Company a Royal Charter. Companies have sought royal favour ever since.

Spotlight: The First Round Of Royal Warrants

Royal Warrants are awarded to a vast array of companies with specialisms spanning boot making to laundry. Companies are not necessarily British (we’re looking at you, Cartier and Champagne Laurent-Perrier), but there is strong representation for some of our favourite British institutions, including Waitrose, Fortnum & Mason and Barbour.
