Prince George has a sweet nickname given to him by his school friends and it turns out that both his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, also have special names for him and his siblings

Prince George, the young Royal destined for the throne, has been given an adorable nickname by his schoolmates. They’ve taken to calling him “PG”, a nod to his initials for “Prince George”.

This endearing name isn’t just a hit among his peers; it’s also caught on at home. Princess Kate and Prince William have reportedly adopted the nickname, affectionately referring to their firstborn as “PG Tips” in homage to the well-known British tea brand.

But that’s not all – Prince William also has a unique nickname for his daughter, Princess Charlotte. At the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show, he was heard calling her “Mignotte”, which translates from French as “cute.”

A woman who met the Royal couple told the Daily Mail that they often call her “Lottie.” She recounted: “I said he is four, and she said, ‘Oh, he’s the same age as Lottie’ – she calls her Lottie!”

And we can’t overlook the youngest of the clan, Prince Louis. During an engaging visit with the scouts, Princess Kate let slip his nickname while they were roasting marshmallows. She cheered him on with: “Pop that on the fire Lou-bugs.”

With some assistance from his mum and a scout leader, Prince Louis was all set to savour his treat, prompting Prince William to quip, “You won’t hear a peep out of him now.”

Previously, Prince George and Princess Charlotte were pupils at Thomas’ School in Battersea, south London, while the littlest, Louis, attended Willcocks Nursery in South Kensington, west London.

The young royals have made Lambrook School near Ascot, Berkshire, their educational home. The three siblings grabbed headlines at their mum’s festive Christmas carol service hosted at Westminster Abbey.

Little Prince Louis was spotted cradling a heartfelt red card for “Thank you to granny and grandpa because they have played games with me,” thanking them for their playful company.

Kate’s annual musical extravaganza attracted faces such as telly favourite Lorraine Kelly and chart-topper Paloma Faith among the 1,600 lucky guests.

In a candid exchange with Paloma Faith, who serenaded attendees on the night, Princess Kate confessed, “I didn’t know this year was going to be the year that I’ve just had.”

Recognising the hardships of the past year, not just personally but broadly shared, she sympathised, “But I think lots of people this year have had such challenging times, many who are here today.”

Kate lauded the efforts of working parents like Paloma, commenting wistfully on the parenting challenges: “I know as a mum it’s hard pulling yourself away, the juggling.”
