Companies do not get a royal warrant for selling just one box or jar or item to the Royal Household, it has to have been used regularly over quite a long period of time. The Royal Warrant only lasts for a given period of time, say 5years, after which, if the household is still satisfied with it, the warrant will be renewed. If not, the warrant will be cancelled and that company can then, no longer advertise the royal warrant for their business. You may recall, that after the death of the late Diana Princess of Wales,the Royal warrant was removed from Harrods the large London Store owned by AI-Fayed the father of Dodi, Diana's` boyfriend at the time of her death.

It means that it has been used extensively in the queens household. I don't suppose she will notice that a particular product has her royal Ascent as it will come on a plate,in a jug or some other way dependent on the product.
Happy New Year.

That means that the company has a contract ("warrant") to provide goods for the royals.
I scarcely think that the Queen has tried products designed for males in her family. I'm pretty sure she doesn't drive each new model Aston-Martin or Rolls-Royce.

ROYAL WARRANTS
Royal warrants are granted to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services for a minimum of five consecutive years to The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh or The Prince of Wales.
Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother was also a grantor of warrants; warrants granted by her will be retained for five years from her death (until 2007).
Each of these members of the Royal Family can grant only one warrant to any individual business, but a business may hold warrants from more than one member of the Royal Family.
Advice on granting warrants is provided by the Lord Chamberlain, who is head of the Royal Household and chairman of the Royal Household Tradesmen's Warrants Committee.
The warrants are a mark of recognition that tradesmen are regular suppliers of goods and services to the Royal households. Strict regulations govern the warrant, which allows the grantee or company to use the legend 'By Appointment' and display the Royal coat of arms on his products, such as stationery, advertisements and other printed material, in his or her premises and on delivery vehicles.
A Royal warrant is initially granted for five years, after which time it comes up for review by the Royal Household Tradesmen's Warrants Committee. Warrants may not be renewed if the quality or supply for the product or service is insufficient, as far as the relevant Royal Household is concerned.
A warrant may be cancelled at any time and is automatically reviewed if the grantee dies or leaves the business, or if the firm goes bankrupt or is sold. There are rules to ensure that high standards are maintained.
Since the Middle Ages, tradesmen who have acted as suppliers of goods and services to the Sovereign have received formal recognition. In the beginning, this patronage took the form of Royal charters given collectively to various guilds in trades and crafts which later became known as livery companies.
Over the centuries, the relationship between the Crown and individual tradesmen was formalised by the issue of Royal warrants.
In the reign of Henry VIII, Thomas Hewytt was appointed to 'Serve the Court with Swannes and Cranes and all kinds of Wildfoule'.
In 1684 goods and services to the Palace included a Haberdasher of Hats, a Watchmaker in Reversion, an Operator for the Teeth and a Goffe-Club Maker.
According to the Royal Kalendar of 1789, a Pin Maker, a Mole Taker, a Card Maker and a Rat Catcher were among tradesmen appointed to the court.
Warrant holders today represent a large cross-section of British trade and industry (there is a small number of foreign names), ranging from dry cleaners to fishmongers, and from agricultural machinery to computer software.
Some firms have a record of Royal warrants reaching back over more than 100 years. Warrant-holding firms do not provide their goods or services free to the Royal households, and all transactions are conducted on a strictly commercial basis.
There are currently approximately 800 Royal warrant holders, holding over 1,100 Royal warrants between them (some have more than one Royal warrant).
On 25 May 1840, a gathering of 'Her Majesty's Tradesmen' held a celebration in honour of Queen Victoria's birthday. They later decided to make this an annual event and formed themselves for the purpose into an association which eventually became known as the Royal Warrant Holders Association.
The organisation acts both in a supervisory role to ensure that the standards of quality and reliability in their goods and services are upheld, and as a channel of communication for its members in their dealings with the various departments of the Royal Household.
The Royal Warrant Holders Association ensures that the Royal warrant is not used by those not entitled and is correctly applied by those who are.

I think it means the company has supplied the palace with the product, so it could just mean the they use it in theservants' quarters or kitchen.
