Apparently it was introduced into United Kingdom in the 1930s by the Maclean's Company, which was subsequently taken over by the Beecham Group, and eventually by SKB.
Yesterday I bought a new tube of Maclean's and almost immediately noticed that the royal warrant was missing.
This warrant was a conspicuous likeness of the Prince of Wales' feathers, surmounted by the legend: By Appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales, Suppliers of Toothpaste, GSK Consumer Healthcare. Brentford, Middlesex.
Evidently another concoction is used to clean the royal gnashers now!

In your last line, I take it you mean used and not sued ?Auto correct no doubt.
I inserted that in order to keep readers on their toes (!)
I too noticed the ‘By Appointment’ warrant was missing from my toothpaste tube. Why us this?
I do not know. Perhaps Prince Charles no longer uses that brand in his household.
