The Princess of Wales is set to honour iconic British brands with a Royal Warrant - becoming the first princess to do so in over a century. Sources close to Kate have told The Times that she will bestow the warrant on her favoured companies to “ recognise British skills and industry ” soon.

Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is set to grant royal warrants for the first time as she gradually resumes her public duties following a challenging year battling cancer. This new authority allows her to honour companies supplying goods to the royal household.
