The Royal Warrant Holders Association was formed in 1840.

Its main objective is to ensure the continued existence of the Royal Warrant as a treasured and respected institution. It helps to administer applications for new Royal Warrants and changes to existing ones.

The Association represents individuals and companies holding Royal Warrants of Appointment. These are a mark of recognition to those who supply goods or services to the Households of Her Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh or His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales.

The Association is not part of the Royal Household, but belongs to its members. It advises members on everything to do with their Royal Warrants and assists with the correct interpretation and implementation of The Lord Chamberlain's Rules, which govern the Royal Warrant.

The Association also helps its members to communicate and network with each other through a programme of social, business and networking events.
