In the British royal family, nicknames are a time-honored tradition. Kate Middleton, addresses her husband, Prince William, as ‘Wills’, while he calls her ‘Poppet’. Meanwhile, her daughter Charlotte has two affectionate nicknames: ‘Lottie’, given to her by her mother, and ‘Mignonette’, which means ‘Miss’ in French and was given to her by her father. At Prince George’s school, he was called ‘PG’, short for ‘Prince George’. This nickname pleased his parents so much that they adopted it at home and added the word ‘tips’ in reference to a famous brand of tea.
Recently we have learned from Kate herself, what is the nickname of her youngest son, Prince Louis, who in recent days has been the main protagonist of the events related to the coronation of King Charles III, leaving in the background his older siblings, George and Charlotte.
During the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, which lasted several hours, Prince Louis showed that his young age made it difficult for him to keep his attention. At one point a yawn escaped him, and he tried to entertain his sister.
On the balcony of Buckingham Palace the little prince shone with his own light, delighting the world with his particular way of clapping and waving to the gathered crowd, but what made him go viral on social networks was his dancing.
At the concert held at Windsor Castle, Prince Louis was the big absentee, perhaps due to the late hour of the event. However, the next day he proved once again his ability to amuse everyone at a public event.
What is Prince Louis’s nickname?
The Prince and Princess of Wales accompanied by their three children visited a scout camp in the middle of the initiative called The Big Help Out. There, the little prince had fun with different activities, such as using the bow, transporting earth in a wheelbarrow, and heating marshmallows on the fire, and it was during this activity that his mother told him “Put that in the fire, Lou Bug”, thus revealing the tender nickname with which she addresses her little son.
But not only the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children have nicknames. The late Queen Elizabeth II was called ‘Gan-Gan’ by her great-grandchildren, a token of affection for her grandmother. This tradition of nicknames shows the closeness and affection that the members of the royal family have for each other, even in the midst of their public and protocol life.
