The Royal Warrant,"By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen," is granted to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services for a minimum of five consecutive years to The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh or The Prince of Wales. Each of these members of the Royal Family can grant only one warrant to any individual business, but a business may hold warrants from more than one member of the Royal Family. The warrants are a mark of recognition that tradesmen are regular suppliers of goods and services to the Royal households. Strict regulations govern the warrant, which allows the grantee or company to use the legend 'By Appointment' and display the Royal coat of arms on his products, such as stationery, advertisements and other printed material, in his or her premises and on delivery vehicles. A brand of meat sauce (imported from England) called "H.P.Sauce" (Houses of Parliament)and displaying the Royal Warrant was sold in Canada some time ago. This was an excellent sauce! I have an Agricultural Machine that I'm presently using, also an import, that proudly displays the Royal Warrant I think its Cool to serve foods, own or use Machinery or Materials that bears the Royal Warrant. Have you been so privileged?

I drink Twinings tea and they bear the Royal warrant. This is special for me because that is my maiden name as I am distantly related to the Twinings.
