Kate Middleton Revealed Princess Charlotte's Nickname—and It's Cuter Than You Can Imagine

The British royal family continues to reveal that they are very adept at giving nicknames. Meghan Markle apparently is called “Tungsten” by her father-in-law, Prince Charles, and “Flower” by her mother, Doria Ragland. And she calls husband Prince Harry “Haz,” while Prince William and Kate Middleton went by “Wombat” and “Squeak,” respectively, when they were little.

Then Prince George recently revealed to a passerby that he goes by the hilarious name of “Archie,” leading us to wonder if Kate and Wills were streaming Riverdale in their spare time over at Kensington Palace. Now, we’ve got the 411 on what the royal parents call Princess Charlotte, thanks to a walkabout during Middleton and Prince William’s recent trip to northern Ireland.

A blogger named Laura-Ann recounted the conversation with Middleton, who first asked about the woman’s young son who was in her arms—coincidentally also named George. When the duchess inquired about Laura-Ann’s other son (who is 4), she says Middleton replied, “Oh, he’s the same age as Lottie!” Lottie! Isn’t that just about the cutest nickname you’ve ever heard?

Lottie isn’t the only endearing moniker given to the young royal by her parents. According to People, during a sighting in Norfolk during the holidays, Middleton was overheard talking to Charlotte, who was sitting on the floor of a store: “Get up, poppet!” the royal mama told her daughter.

Both nicknames are incredibly British, which, DUH. But they are also just so normal, in that sweet way that most parents have little affectionate ways of addressing their children. Sometimes it’s easy to forget in all the pomp and circumstance of royal engagements that the Cambridges and the Sussexes are families, too.

Here’s to Prince Archie and Princess Lottie! Now, what do we think they call that little nugget Prince Louis? We’re sure it’s something equally as British and adorable.

Apparently Prince George Has a Nickname—and It's Not What You Would Expect

Prince George of Cambridge—you know, that adorable little 5-year-old royal who will likely one day be king—is a boy of many names, apparently. Of course, he literally has many names on his birth certificate: George Alexander Louis, to be exact. But he also reportedly revealed that he goes by another name that we never would have guessed.

The Daily Mail reports that a woman walking her dog casually happened upon the young prince and his sister Princess Charlotte while they were playing in a stream near their grandmother Carole Middleton’s home in Berkshire, England.

First, can you imagine going out for a leisurely stroll and seeing the heir to the throne and his little sister? Luckily, this unnamed woman kept her composure—and followed the directions of the royals’ protection officer to not snap any photos.

But she did strike up a convo with the little ones while George petted her 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,” she says. “To my astonishment, he said, ‘I’m called Archie,’ with a big smile on his face. I don’t know why he calls himself Archie, but kids often play with their names and I think it’s lovely.”

This revelation could mean a number of things. Maybe he’s been sneaking into the room while his parents, Kate Middleton and Prince William, are bingeing Riverdale on Netflix (a hypothetical, of course). Perhaps George already has an alter ego, like the royal version of Beyonc´é’s Sasha Fierce. Or maybe, at age 5, he already knows how to brilliantly troll people—and the press. (I feel like maybe his Uncle Harry would be proud of that one.)

Needless to say, it seems we can now add Archie to the list of George’s names and nicknames which also include, per the Daily Mail: PG (which is what he’s called at school—and is likely short for Prince George, of course), “PG Tips” (a spin on the school nickname by his parents, which is is also a common brand of tea in the UK), and the shortened version, “Tips”.

No word on which one the Queen prefers, but we love that the little royal has already dubbed himself with an adorable nickname.
