Camilla has granted her first Royal Warrants of Appointment to her favourite companies – including a wine merchant and an office supply firm.
Queen Camilla has chosen to bestow a Royal Warrant to the famous Fortnum & Mason
Queen Camilla today reveals her personal tastes when it comes to the best of British goods and services – as she grants her first ever Royal Warrants of Appointment to seven companies.
The firms that will now proudly bear her coat of arms range from a family vineyard in Cornwall, to London’s world-famous department store and grocer Fortnum & Mason.
All of Queen Camilla’s selections also appear in a list of 145 UK businesses to receive prestigious warrants from her husband, King Charles, having previously enjoyed his patronage when he was Prince of Wales.
Among those toasting the accolades – which are granted for up to five years as a mark of recognition for supplying goods or services to the Royal Household – are Bob and Annie Lindo.
They planted their Camel Valley vineyard in Bodmin, Cornwall in 1989.
Of their warrants from both Charles and Camilla as a “purveyor of English sparkling wines”, managing director Bob said: “What an honour. Her Majesty has taken a keen interest in the development of English wines and as President of Wine GB, which represents the industry, she has been a terrific source of encouragement and enthusiasm. To now have been appointed as one of her first Warrant holders is very special.”
The “delighted and honoured” Tom Athron, chief executive of historic Fortnum & Mason, said: “To receive a Royal Warrant in 2024 requires a rigorous focus on acting for a sustainable future, supporting the country’s rural and farming communities and protecting the arts and heritage crafts.”
Queen Camilla’s remaining five Warrants have been granted to other London-based businesses, including a wine merchant, chemist, florist, jeweller and a stationery and office supply firm.
Charles’s picks include Corgi Hosiery, a Welsh independent sock and knitwear manufacturer, Cambridgeshire-based Barcham Trees which grows “instant impact” containerised trees, and London Scribes, a specialist calligraphy, lettering, illustration and print service.
