Trinidad based Angostura loses 112-Year Royal Warrant

ANGOSTURA Ltd, the renowned producer of Angostura aromatic bitters, has had its Royal Warrant withdrawn by King Charles III, ending a long-standing relationship that lasted 112 years.

The decision was part of a broader announcement made on Sunday by the Royal Warrant Holders Association, which revealed the new Royal Warrants granted under King Charles III and Queen Camilla. The Royal Warrant Holders Association noted that the second set of Royal Warrants for the new reign was granted in December 2024 to 386 companies that previously held a single Royal Warrant under Queen Elizabeth II, as well as seven companies with ongoing trading relationships with Queen Camilla. This marks a significant shift in the companies recognized by the monarchy under the current reign.

“These grants follow 152 Royal Warrants granted by Their Majesties in May, to companies drawn from those previously holding a Royal Warrant of Appointment to His Majesty as Prince of Wales, who began granting Warrants in 1980,” it stated.
