While King Charles typically favors gifting jewelry, this unusual move could see Princess Kate bestowed with the right to issue royal warrants, official approvals given to selected brands and suppliers. These warrants, dating back to the Middle Ages, bear the Royal Coats of Arms and serve as badges of honor. Displaying a royal warrant on business products, packaging, or stationary can lead to substantial commercial advantages.
According to news.com.au, there are currently around 800 Royal warrant holders representing various trades and industries, symbolizing a commitment to high service standards, quality craftsmanship, and tradition. A source told Mail Online that it would be unprecedented for the Princess of Wales to officially support a British company, emphasizing the potential boost for British industries, especially in fashion and lifestyle sectors.
Amidst these developments, Meghan Markle recently trademarked the name of her former personal blog, "The Tig." The blog, which Meghan ran before joining the royal family, focused on promoting food, fashion, and lifestyle content.
The proposed birthday gift from King Charles could not only reinforce Princess Kate's influence, estimated to be worth over £1 billion, but also have the power to significantly boost sales for any product she decides to endorse. As the decision-making process unfolds, the final call on whether to issue a royal warrant is expected to come from Buckingham Palace.
In addition to the potential royal warrant, King Charles is reportedly considering bestowing upon Princess Kate a new title – Lady of the Garter, one of England's oldest and highest knighthoods established 700 years ago by Edward III. This appointment would further enhance her standing within the royal family and would be a personal selection by the monarch.
