Cadbury Loses Royal Warrant After 170 Years
King Charles III's updated royal warrant list excludes the iconic chocolate brand, with no official reason provided.
- 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.
