Danish Royal Family Ends 'Royal Supplier' Designation
The tradition of granting 'Royal Supplier' status to businesses will not continue under King Frederik X.
- The Danish royal family announced it will no longer renew the 'Royal Supplier' designation for businesses.
- More than 100 Danish and five foreign companies currently hold the right to display the royal crown on their products.
- The decision follows King Frederik X's ascension to the throne earlier this year, marking a shift in royal policy.
- Existing 'Royal Supplier' titles can be used until December 31, 2029, after which they will expire.
- Carlsberg, a long-time holder of the title, seeks to retain the crown symbol on its products to honor its historical ties with the monarchy.
