As the nation prepares to lay Queen Elizabeth II to rest for the final time on Monday, many changes are being put into place to mark respects for the late monarch.
One change that was not as well known by many is the removal of labels on certain products sold in the UK, due to the fact that they bear the Queen's coat of arms on them. Popular ketchup brand Heinz had reported earlier this week that they will be changing the design of their iconic product.
This is due to a Royal Warrant being granted to Heinz, and hundreds of other brands, which allows a company to use the royal coat of arms on products and in marketing in exchange for supplying goods and services to the royals, the Mirror reports.

The coat of arms depicts the unicorn of Scotland, the lion of England, and a shield that is divided into four quarters with the words: "by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen" on it. Due to the Queen's passing, this will have to be changed to 'His Majesty the King' to honour King Charles III.
This will be no easy fix, however, as all the companies will have to reapply for a Royal Warrant, as they became void when the Queen died. The Royal Warrant Holders Association (RWHA) said: "Amongst other things, applicants are also required to demonstrate that they have an appropriate environmental and sustainability policy and action plan.”
So, which brands will have to switch out their designs in accordance with Royal Warrant rules? Read on below for more information.
Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola are Royal Warrant holders by appointment of Queen Elizabeth II, as suppliers of soft drinks. On the RWHA website, it reads: "At Coca-Cola, we set out to refresh the world - in mind, body and spirit – and to inspire moments of optimism through our brands and actions.
"We are the world’s leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of non-alcoholic drink concentrates and syrups and we're responsible for more than 500 brands globally."
They are one famous brand that will need to reapply for the Royal Warrant.
Cadbury's
The famous purple bar may be getting a design change, as their Royal Warrant runs out, following the death of the Queen. Cadbury is a Royal Warrant holder as cocoa and chocolate manufacturers.
Now, they will need to reinstate their Royal presence in the chocolate world.
Johnnie Walker
The world's number one Scotch whisky is also a Royal Warrant holder, as Scotch whisky distillers. King Charles III opened Johnnie Walker Princes Street in Edinburgh last year, an experience that provides visitors with an immersive Journey of Flavour.
Now, the popular spirits brand will have a coat of arms dedicated to King Charles III, who has been involved heavily with the new services offered by Johnnie Walker.

Walkers Shortbread
Yes, that's right - Scotland's most popular tea-dunker is owner of a Royal Warrant. Walkers Shortbread holds the coat of arms of the Queen as suppliers of oatcakes and shortbread.
The popular brand will also be reapplying to bear King Charles III coat of arms instead.
Premier Foods
Premier Foods was granted a warrant by the late Queen Elizabeth II under the manufacturing of cakes and culinary products. The brand will now need to reapply to serve under King Charles III instead.
Bentley Motors
The posh car brand also was granted a warrant by the Queen under the manufacturing of motor cars. Given their stature in the vehicle industry, it is no surprise that they will be reapplying for a Royal Warrant.
Hunter
Progressive British heritage brand Hunter is known for their iconic wellington boots, used by millions across the UK. The brand has a rich history of innovation, creating footwear and outerwear to protect from the weather and perform across all terrains.
They operate under HM The Queen as suppliers of waterproof footwear, but will be forced to remove the coat of arms from their label unless they reapply for a Royal Warrant.
The Famous Grouse - Matthew Gloag and Son
A business formed in the 1800's, and owner of popular scotch whisky, The Famous Grouse, Matthew Gloag and Son are owners of a Royal Warrant. They will need to reapply for a warrant, or face having to remove the coat of arms from their labels.
Other brands that fall under the Royal Warrant firm include the likes of Unilever, Martini, British Sugar, Dubonnet, Gordon's and Pimm's - of course. Around 630 further businesses own a Royal Warrant, and will need to reapply for their status.
These firms include Barbour, Jaguar Land Rover, Boots, Clarins, Molton Brown, Burberry and Britvic Soft Drinks. In order to reapply, RWHA has said that these companies must prove that they "supply products or services on a regular and ongoing basis to the Royal households for not less than five years out of the past seven”.
