If you’re a business, scoring a royal warrant is kind of like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Warrants are handed out to companies which have been favourites of the royals for at least five years, and they can only be given by the most senior members of the family, meaning the Queen, Prince Philip or Prince Charles.

Before companies are awarded royal warrants, they must put in an application and then undergo rigorous background checks by the Association of Royal Warrant Holders’ selection committee.

If they pass, they are then permitted to display the Royal Arms of the relevant household on their packaging.

But even if they do manage to get one, there’s no guarantee they’ll actually keep it.

British luxury lingerie retailer Rigby & Peller was stripped of their royal warrant in January of this year after the company’s director, June Kenton, wrote about having bra fittings with the Queen in her book,Storm In a D Cup.

The royal warrant first started with King George III way back in the 1700s, and it’s been in place ever since.

Today, there are around 800 brands which carry the royal warrant.

We rounded up a few of them, just in case you feel like living like a queen…

Fortnum & Mason

Think of this place as an upscale supermarket. Fortnum & Mason is so popular with the royals, it holds two royal warrants – one from the Queen and the other from Prince Charles.

This outfitter was awarded a royal warrant from Prince Philip, and they are often used to create the uniforms worn by the family and their staff at ceremonial events. They even designed the Queen's coronation gown in 1953.

Hunter Boots

We're going to guess that almost every royal has a pair of Hunter Boots tucked away in their closet. Prince Philip gave them their royal warrant, but they've been seen on everyone from the Queen to Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.

Twinings

The Queen starts every day with a cup of English Breakfast tea, so it's understandable why she gave the company behind one of her favourite drinks a royal warrant.

Cornelia James

This glove manufacturer has long been a favourite of the Queen's - she even wore a pair of their gloves as she left her wedding in 1947. According to the company's managing director, Andrew Lawson: "When you see her black car pulling away and the white gloved hand at the window, that’s one of ours."

This chocolatier was a favourite of the late Queen Mother's. According to the company, her favourite was the Rose & Violet Chocolate Cremes, and she once asked how many she'd have to eat before they qualified for a royal warrant.

In addition to making whips for the Queen (we're just going to assume she uses them on her horses andnoton Prince Philip), Swaine Adeney Brigg is also the manufacturer of Prince Charles' favourite umbrellas.

We have a hard time believing the royals wouldevercarry wallets around (What would they even put in them?), but when they do, apparently they use Ettinger wallets.
