Interlude: Royal Warrants

Have you ever wondered where the Queen gets her office furniture or where the Prince of Wales gets his shirts made?  How can you be sure that the product you are buying is good enough for a member of the royal household?

Well, look no further than the website of the Royal Warrant Holders Association.  The Association maintains a directory of the current holders of royal warrants, searchable by category and grantor.  The directory lists warrants for everything from animal pregnancy scanning to timber merchants.

So the next time you are throwing a party and looking for a quality purveyor of "fancy goods," you can use to the directory to discover that The General Trading Company of Mayfair has a warrant from the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prince of Wales.
