"By Royal Appointment," narrated by Hugh Bonneville (DOWNTON ABBEY, BONEKICKERS), is a documentary that shines a light on the talented craftsmen and women who all hold "warrants" designating them official suppliers to the English Royal Family.
From tailors to cheese makers, medal crafters to wine suppliers, and cobblers to carriage makers, their skills and craftsmanship have placed them in a very exclusive group. They alone have the right to display a Royal Coat of Arms and say that they are "By Royal Appointment."
