English term or phrase: by appointment of her majesty the queen
The phrase is used in relation to a new product range of a consumer goods producer. The idea is that the British royal family has used the products and are happy with them. In this case the company has the right to apply for a certificate of aproval from the royal family. This phrase stands at the top corner of the products promotional brochure indicating basically that the company posesses such an approval. Can anyone give me the official Russian phrase that might already be in circulation (otherwise I will have to use my own judgement).
