How King Charles stripped some of the UK's best-known brands of their Royal Warrant - including Cadbury and Marmite in place for Camilla's long-standing hairdresser and jeweller

His mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, was a big fan of chocolate giant Cadbury - yet King Charles has stripped the firm of its Royal Warrant and there are now suggestions that his health-conscious approach to diet could have played a key part. The confectionery brand based in Bourneville, Birmingham, is among 100 companies to lose out on official endorsement from the royal family in a newly-updated list.

Also missing out this time is consumer goods multinational Unilever, whose products include the likes of Marmite, Magnum ice cream bars and Pot Noodle. But operations favoured by Charles's wife Queen Camilla are among the latest beneficiaries of the royal household's stamp of approval.

Her long-standing hairdresser Jo Hansford's salon in Mayfair, central London. is among almost 400 businesses in the latest batch of Royal Warrants of Appointment. Also recognised is Wartski jewellers, also based in the capital and which made the King and Queen's wedding rings for their marriage in April 2005.

But the snub for Cadbury comes despite the firm first being given a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria back in 1854 and retaining it under Queen Elizabeth II between 1955 and her death in 2022. Reports today suggested Charles's healthy eating preferences could have worked against Cadbury, confectionery firm behind the likes of Dairy Milk, Flake and Heroes.
