John Lewis, Heinz and Nestle are among the companies given the King’s stamp of approval, with the monarch granting them royal warrants.
More than 380 companies have been awarded the title, which recognises that the brand provides goods or services to the royal family.
It allows them to use the coat of arms of the royal they are associated with on packaging, as part of advertising, or on stationary.
This year, the Queen gave the warrant to seven new companies, including a number of brands from her own fashion and beauty team.
Mayfair hairdresser Jo Hansford, hat designer Philip Treacy and the creators of her outfits, Anna Valentine and Fiona Clare, have all received the accolade.
Ms Hansford said: “It’s a real honour to be granted a royal warrant from the Queen, who I have been proud to have as a client for more than three decades.
“I think it is particularly wonderful that the Queen has awarded it to an all-female owned and run business. It really shows that with grit and determination, you can achieve truly incredible things.”
Among the King’s list of warrant holders are many firms selling food and drink, from companies known for their champagne like Bollinger, Moet & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin to Bendicks chocolates and Weetabix.
