Princess Charlotte of Cambridge made her way into the world on Saturday and onto cups, stickers and T-shirts.
As royal baby fever heats up, fine china and wacky ice-cream flavor makers are taking the opportunity to sell royal baby memorabilia to the masses.
USA TODAY
New little princess is named Charlotte Elizabeth Diana
Here are five items marking Princess Charlotte's birth:
1. Royal baby china wars
The Royal Collection Trust unveiled a line of chinaware and gifts dedicated to "our new royal baby."
Items in the collection range from china plates finished with 22-karat gold to royal baby velvet cushions.
The plates cost £45 or around $50, and velvet cushions come in at £95 or about $105.
For those with less money to spend, royal baby cradle decorations are £9. Royal Crown Derby also introduced an eight-piece limited-edition china set with prices ranging from £65 to £650 or about $725.
2. Already a fashion icon
Baby Charlotte was wrapped in a cozy shawl when she left St. Mary's Hospital with parents Kate and William on May 3. The G.H. Hurt & Son shawl is $53 online and judging from how quickly items that Kate wears sell out, they probably won't be on the shelf for long.
3. Royal baby coin

The Royal Mint unveiled a £5 coin in honor of the royal baby's birth. The coin says, "To celebrate the birth of the second child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge."
The Royal Mint is also giving a silver penny to babies born on the same day as Charlotte.

4. Feeling nauseous?
An ode to Duchess Kate's notoriously rough pregnancies, a royal baby-themed sick bag is available for about $4. The front of the sick bag says "royal baby one more time."
5. Breast milk-flavored ice cream?
London based ice cream company, The Licktators, launched a breast milk-flavored ice cream just in time for the royal baby's birth.
The ice cream is called Royal Baby Gaga and blends donated breast milk and Madagascan Vanilla. You can try the product for around $21.
