For decades, Rigby & Peller have supplied brassieres and other foundation garments to the Royal Family. The company, founded by Jewish émigrées Gita Peller and Bertha Rigby, in 1939, was granted a royal warrant in 1960.
But now, after some 57 years, the ‘Royal Purveyors,’ as they style themselves, have been stripped of their Royal Warrant.

The rift has occurred because self-styled ‘boobologist’ June Kenton, who bought the company in 1982, revealed a little too much detail of the regal bra-fitting in her 2016 book Storm In A D-Cup.
