King Charles III has recently made the decision to end royal warrants for Cadbury and Unilever, two well-known household names. These warrants, which allow brands and companies to feature the Royal Arms on their packaging, were not renewed for Cadbury and Unilever in the latest round of appointments.
The royal warrants system, dating back to the 15th century, is a way of recognizing suppliers of goods and services to the British royal households. More than 500 brands and companies currently hold warrants, which are issued for a five-year period and subject to review before renewal.
