Makers of products bearing the royal coat of arms on the current Royal Warrant are being forced to reflect the change in monarchy following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. This means companies such as Heinz will have to remove their Royal Warrants and reapply for new ones.
The current Royal Warrant on Heinz bottles reads 'By Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen, Purveyors of Heinz Products'. Following a successful application for a new Royal Warrant, new signage will then be emblazoned on the products. As reported by Mirror, Heinz is one of 800 food and drink brands that will have to enact the changes within a set period of two years.
Other big brand companies impacted by the enforced change in Royal Warrants include Twinings tea, Bollinger champagne, Fortnum & Mason and Waitrose. They will all have to remove the late monarch’s coveted coat of arms which is proudly and prominently displayed on their packaging or at shop entrances.
