Her lawyers are citing trademark infringements against The Licktators, who launched the flavour in May to mark the royal baby’s birth.

They want all offending words to be removed from social media and cease to be used within 14 days.
A spokesman for Gaga declined to comment. But Licktators’ “General Custard” (yes, really) Nadine O’Connor tells 3am their limited-edition, breast-milk ice cream “neither names nor features Lady Gaga, nor are her trademarks infringed”.
She adds: “We will not be bullied into removing content from social media relating to our product and subsequent media coverage.
“However, we will send complimentary tubs of our ice cream to Lady Gaga for chilling out to, as a gesture of peace and goodwill.”
