Harrods had the Royal Warrant before Fayad bought it.

(His name isn't Al-Fayed. The 'Al' was added by himself, as an act of desperate self-aggrandizment.)

The company I worked for, for many years, didn't have any Royal Warrants. Though our main competitor, Turnbull & Asser, did.

Turnbull & Asser was owned by Fayed's brother Ali, and was part of the Harrods group.

The firm I was creative director at is still family owned by it's founders.

Guess where the Royals came, when they wanted some new togs?
