Tiny statues of Prince William and his pregnant wife Kate Middleton will be auctioned on eBay to raise money for kids to learn about gardening in schools.
The gnome statues of the duke the duchess of Cambridge were displayed at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Daily Mirror reported.
The couple's statues are the first gnomes ever to go on show at the Chelsea Flower Show. Chelsea lifted a ban on the figures to mark the show's centenary.
"Gnomes are often associated with good luck, I could not think of a more popular couple that the nation is wishing good luck to," gardening guru David Domoney, who commissioned the statues, was quoted as saying.
