Volkswagen has dropped the royal warrant following last year’s dodgy diesel fiasco.
And a few vehicles in the royal garage are likely to need some dieselgate remedies when the full scope of required repairs is agreed upon.
Official communications from the German brand have carried the Queen’s official standard, but the company has said it had removed them.
“In light of the current situation, Volkswagen Group UK has decided to remove the royal warrant logo from communications. We have informed Buckingham Palace of our decision. The royal warrant remains extant,” an unnamed VW spokesman told Britain’s Daily Mail.
Buckingham Palace says it doesn’t comment on individual warrant holders, but admits they’re all permanently under review.
