Cadbury has expressed its disappointment after losing its Royal warrant.
The chocolate company is among several brands that have had their warrants revoked under the King, according to a list published by Buckingham Palace’s Royal Warrant Holders Association. Cadbury had held the Royal warrant for 170 years since 1854.
Unilever, the consumer goods firm behind Dove and Lipton, also lost its warrant. Earlier this year, campaign group B4Ukraine urged Charles to withdraw warrants from companies “still operating in Russia” following the invasion of Ukraine, specifically naming Mondelez, which owns Cadbury, and Unilever.
A spokesperson for Mondelez International commented: “Whilst we are disappointed to be one of hundreds of other businesses and brands in the UK to not have a new warrant awarded, we are proud to have previously held one, and we fully respect the decision.”
A representative for Unilever added: “We are very proud of the long history our brands have supplying the Royal Household and of the warrants they have been awarded during this time, most recently by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The granting of Royal warrants is a matter for the Royal Household.”
