The Monarch has produced strawberry, chocolate, mint choc chip and vanilla ice cream, which he is selling to tourists on his Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Cones and tubs are available from kiosks on the estate, costing £2.90 for a single scoop and £4.50 for a double, and come complete with special Sandringham wafers which feature a Royal crown.
The Sandringham estate wrote on Instagram: “The perfect treat in this lovely sunny weather. Made with milk from the Royal Farms in Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla available from all our catering outlets.”
Sandringham Farms manage 2,400 hectares of farmland “in-hand” and eight tenant farmers rent 4,000 hectares. The estate has native Shorthorn cross breed cattle, which are grass fed on the estate for most of the year.
The first confirmed instance of ice cream in England was at King Charles II’s Feast of St George at Windsor in 1671. Ice cream was only served at the King’s table and accompanied by strawberries.
