Usage & Rights
The Royal Arms may only be displayed by current, active warrant holders. Misuse of the Royal Arms is a criminal offence under the Trade Descriptions Act 1968. Warrants are issued by the Royal Warrant Holders Association on behalf of members of the Royal Family who grant warrants. Following the accession of King Charles III, warrants previously granted by the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip have been subject to transition arrangements.
