John Lewis, Weetabix and Kellogg’s are among the almost 400 companies that have been granted the Royal Warrant of Appointment by His Majesty King Charles III.

The Royal Warrant is a mark of recognition to companies who have regularly supplied the Royal Household for at least five years.

John Lewis, the sister company of Waitrose, which was granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment by His Majesty earlier this year, was among those which received the recognition.

It reflects the retailer’s commitment to championing high environmental standards and supporting local communities.

John Lewis executive director Peter Ruis said: “It’s a proud moment to be recognised by His Majesty with his Royal Warrant.

“For 160 years, we’ve been focused on offering excellent customer service and the highest quality products, and the Royal Warrant is testament to the hard work of partners across John Lewis and our suppliers.”

Meanwhile, drinks giant Bacardi-Martini, breakfast cereal brand’s Kellogg’s and Weetabix, Tiptree jam maker Wilkin & Sons, and Ryvita supplier John Ross were awarded Royal Warrants. These firms were among 386 companies which had also previously held the recognition under Queen Elizabeth II.

In May, Fortnum & Mason, alongside Waitrose, received a Royal Warrant from His Majesty.

Fortnum & Mason was granted two Royal Warrants – one from the King and one from Queen Camilla – the first time the luxury retailer had received a new Warrant in 28 years and was one of the first to be awarded by King Charles since his ascent to the throne in 2022.
