A British company is celebrating the imminent arrival of William and Kate's second royal baby by selling breast milk ice cream with the duchess's face on the carton.
The Licktators teamed up with breastfeeding advocate Victoria Hiley to create Royal Baby Gaga ice cream, which combines donated breast milk with Madagascan Vanilla.

A breastfeeding campaigner has collaborated with The Licktators to re-launch breast milk ice cream in celebration of the forthcoming birth of the Royal baby.
Victoria Hiley, a 30-year-old mother from Leeds, said she wanted to remind the Duchess of Cambridge, and mothers around the country, of the benefits of breastfeeding. And also how delicio...us breast milk is, whatever your age.
Royal Baby Gaga ice cream is made by The Licktators with donated breast milk - screened in line with hospital standards - and blended with Madagascan Vanilla.
Hiley was involved in the launch of Baby Gaga breast milk ice cream in 2011 and has teamed up again with ice cream maker Matt O’Connor to create the product.
“There was huge support from breastfeeding women for Baby Gaga ice cream in 2011, yet some politicians still stigmatise women for breastfeeding in public.
“We thought the birth of a Royal baby was a great time to whip up support for mums and say that when it comes to ice cream this summer, breast is best.”
“After all, what else would you give your young prince or princess?”
The Licktators have also published the recipe online so that mums can make the ice cream at home http://thelicktators.com/baby-gaga-recipe.php
The product will be available for sale at selected stores in London this summer and online at thelicktators.com http://thelicktators.com from Saturday.
A 500ml tub of Royal Baby Gaga has an RSP of £19.99 and is available in pink and blue tubs.
All profits are to be donated to a breastfeeding charity.
"We thought the birth of a royal baby was a great time to whip up support for mums and say that when it comes to ice cream this summer, breast is best," Hiley said.
The company launched a similar product, Baby Gaga Ice Cream, in 2011. That brand prompted singer Lady Gaga to threaten a lawsuit and the Westminster Council to seize the product and conduct safety tests.
Each 500-ml tub — they come in pink or blue — costs $36.87.
The Licktators say they will donate profits from the ice cream to a breastfeeding charity, but didn't immediately respond to inquiries as to which one.
