12 Home Brands That The Late Queen And Her Family Have Loved

"A royal warrant of appointment is granted as a mark of recognition to people or companies [that] have regularly supplied goods or services to Her Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, or His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, or their households," reads the British royal family's official website.

There are currently over 800 brands that have received this royal stamp of approval, which has been granted by Queen Elizabeth II, the Prince of Wales, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. According to the royal family's site, these companies can range from fishmongers to those creating computer software.

However, ​The Guardian​ reports that following Queen Elizabeth II's passing, all these companies could lose their royal warrants unless the queen's successor grants them new ones. Fortunately, this isn't too out of the ordinary for these businesses — every five years, each has to reapply for a royal warrant to prove that it has been supplying products to the royals for no less than five years out of the past seven.
