Bring in the royal ice cream! King Charles is selling housemade ice cream this summer made with milk from the family’s royal herds.

The surprisingly understated flavours include strawberry, chocolate, mint choc-chip, and vanilla. A single scoop will set you back $5.70 or live large with a two-scoop serving for $8.80. Each housemade cone comes crowned with a royal wafter featuring an official Sandringham logo. Cute.

The royals have been selling their ice cream and other produce from their estates since 2001 when Prince Philip wanted to share the best of British with the public – though the first mention of the family ice cream was at King Charles II’s Feast of St George at Windsor in 1671.

Other goods on the royal farms’ roster range from a butchery selling seasonal game, beef, pork and lamb from the Windsor estates, to a delicatessen and a bakery.

The ice cream is made with milk produced by some seriously pampered Jersey cows, a breed famous for its high fat-content milk and gentle nature. Many of the current 165-strong herd descend from the ‘Pretty Polly’ bloodline, which dates back to 1871 when they were given to Queen Victoria as a present.

The cows are milked daily with fully automatic pumps, are free to roam and scratch themselves on revolving brushes, and can rest inside the dairy on waterbeds. Oh, to be a cow.

Where can I buy the royal ice cream?

The royal ice cream – which comes from several Jersey herds that the Windsors rear – is available annually at the late Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite estate, Sandringham, and all other royal catering outposts.
