Read our privacy policy Heinz, along with hundreds of other brands that hold a Royal Warrant, will have to change their packaging following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Brands including Heinz, Twinings, Gordon’s, Walkers Shortbread, Waitrose, and Champagne Boilinger will have to remove the royal coat of arms on their products and reapply to King Charles III. The Royal Warrant Holders Association said in a statement: “Amongst other things, applicants are also required to demonstrate that they have an appropriate environmental and sustainability policy and action plan.” Companies that are reapplying for the warrant must prove that they “supply products or services on a regular and ongoing basis to the royal households for not less than five years out of the past seven”. A spokesperson for Heinz said: “It’s been our highest honour to supply the royal households with Heinz products since 1951 and we sincerely hope to be able to continue doing so for many years to come.
