Overview

• Cadbury, first granted a royal warrant by Queen Victoria in 1854, has been excluded from King Charles III's revised list of warrant holders.
• The royal warrant allows companies to display the Royal Arms on their products, signifying their status as suppliers to the royal household.
• Cadbury's parent company, Mondelez International, expressed disappointment but stated respect for the decision, which affects over 100 other brands as well.
• Activist group B4Ukraine had urged the King to revoke warrants for companies operating in Russia, but no direct link to this campaign has been confirmed.
• The decision marks a significant shift for the brand, which celebrated its 200th anniversary this year and was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth II.
