Privacy Notice Over the years, a number of sweet nicknames for members of the Royal Family have emerged – whether it was how Prince Philip reportedly referred to the late Queen as ‘Cabbage’ or how Diana, Princess of Wales called Prince William ‘Wombat’. The same sweet tradition has been extended to Prince George who is thought to have a number of different pet names. And, according to one lady who met the second-in-line to the throne while out walking her dog, George used a different name to introduce himself. Whether this is a nickname or a strategy to protect his privacy, a member of the public revealed that she saw the prince while he was playing near the Middleton family home in Berkshire.

She later explained: “I was asked by a police minder not to take a photo of the children, which I didn’t, but George started stroking my dog. Just to be friendly, I engaged in a bit of small talk and I asked George what his name was, even though obviously I knew it. “To my astonishment, he said, ‘I’m called Archie’, with a big smile on his face.” Archie has, of course, since become the first name of George’s first cousin, Prince Archie of Sussex.

His younger sister, Princess Charlotte, also has an adorable pet name which her father was heard calling her as they visited the Chelsea Flower Show. The family had visited the ‘Back to Nature’ garden designed by the Princess of Wales and while playing on a swing in the garden, William called out to his daughter, asking her to come and give him a push. But instead of saying ‘Charlotte’, he called for ‘Mignonette’. The French word is said to mean “small, sweet, and delicate” or “cute”.

During his days at St Andrews University in Scotland, Prince William also reportedly used a different name from time to time to allow him to fly under the radar. It was agreed that the prince would be afforded complete media privacy during his studies so that he could be as normal as possible. While coverage was kept to only a handful of rare and agreed upon photoshoots, William came up with an additional tactic to secure even more secrecy. As he had enrolled under the already normal name of ‘William Wales’, the prince decided to go one further and come up with a fake name that he would use to deter any unwanted attention – Steve!Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
