Cadbury ‘disappointed’ after being stripped of royal warrant

Cadbury has said it is “disappointed” after losing its royal warrant.

The chocolate firm is among the brands and products that have had their warrants withdrawn under the King, a list published by Buckingham Palace’s Royal Warrant Holders Association shows.

Consumer goods firm Unilever, which owns Dove and Lipton, was also stripped of its warrant.

Earlier this year, Charles was urged by campaign group B4Ukraine to take warrants from companies “still operating in Russia” after the invasion of Ukraine, naming Mondelez, which owns Cadbury, and Unilever.

A Unilever spokesperson said: “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.”
