En 1921, quatorze années seulement après qu'Alfred Dunhill ait ouvert ses portes, son entreprise reçut son premier mandat royal (Royal Warrant) en tant que fournisseur de tabac d'Edouard, Prince de Galles. Afin de marquer cet évènement heureux et précieux au plan commercial, Alfred commanda une nouvelle forme de Shell Briar, la forme 314. Elle avait une tête de forme Apple et un tuyau légèrement courbé. Il l'appela naturellement "Prince".<ref name=balfour14>Balfour, Michael. (1992). Alfred Dunhill, One Hundred Years and More (p.68).

"Dunhill | "Le premier client important de Dunhill fut Edouard, Prince de Galles, et Dunhill conservait un "tiroir royal" dans la boutique de Duke Street afin d'avoir toujours sous la main de quoi répondre aux demandes habituelles du Prince. En 1921 Edouard accorda à Dunhill son premier Mandat Royal et Dunhill l'afficha fièrement dans ses catalogues "About Smoke" et sur ses nombreux accessoires pour pipes et ses emballages jusqu'en 1936, quand après avoir brièvement accédé au trône, Edouard abdiqua. Edouard continua toute sa vie à être client mais après l'abdication se fournit auprès des boutiques de Paris et New York. | ||
In honor of the 1921 Royal Warrant and with the Prince's permission, Dunhill designed and named a pipe in his honor, the 'Prince' (shape 314, a squat apple with a slightly bent, thin shank). It also blended a new pre-packaged tobacco blend in his honor, the 'Prince of Wales'. Additionally at Edward's request, Dunhill carved a special 'Ol)' pipe for him in the shape of his profile and with a triangular shank. While both the Prince pipe and the Prince of Wales blend proved quite popular, particularly with Americans, Edward himself, at least in the 1920s, preferred the number 302 pipe shape because it accommodated the Dunhill pipe tobacco cartridge."
