Brands have been quick to pass on their messages of congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after they welcomed a baby boy on April 23.

The yet-to-be-named prince was born at 11.01am with canny social media managers posting out messages with a nod to their own product along with messages to the royals.

From toasting the birth with brands of tea to celebrating with a card or chocolate, here’s some of those keen to pass on their well-wishes.

Doughnut firm Krispy Kreme called the news “sweet” while Ahmad Tea spoke of the “beau-tea-ful baby boy”.

In fact, tea companies were particularly on message with the announcement.

Chocolatiers at Cadbury World created a chocolate rocking horse for the new baby, after previously making a chocolate pram for Princess Charlotte and a chocolate cot with toys for Prince George.

It weighs around 30kg – the equivalent of 667 standard bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk – and was made by Dawn Jenks and Doona Oluban over two days.
