Nothing can be more normal than friends giving each other nicknames, and that is true for all including the third in line to the throne - and it isn’t princess.

Prince William and Princess Kate are determined daughter Princess Charlotte, eight, enjoys as normal a childhood as is possible for a young girl who is third in line to the throne. At school she is registered as Charlotte Cambridge, but her friends call her by a nickname she is said to adore.

Reports suggest her pals shorten her name and call her Lottie Wales, as a nod to her parents’ titles given to them by the King when the Queen passed away. According to a story from last year, Charlotte’s friends at the school are not the only ones to call her by that name.

While on a walkabout in Northern Ireland, influencer Laura-Ann met Kate with her two-year-old son George. During their conversation Kate told George: "Hello, what's your name? Hi George, what a cool name you've got, and you look very smart in your bowtie. It's very nice to meet you."

Laura-Ann 30, a part-time estate agent from Belfast, had gone to Windsor Park to meet Kate and . She documented their meeting on her and revealed while talking to her older son, the Duchess said to her: "So then she asked how old Bertie is, and I said he is four and she said, 'Oh, he's the same age as Lottie'. She calls her Lottie!"

Charlotte's parents also call her “Warrior Princess" due to her "feisty" personality, according to Katie Nicholl, Vanity Fair's royal correspondent. While on a shopping trip to The Range back in 2018, a fellow shopper told the they overheard Kate telling Charlotte to "get up poppet".

The parents also have their secret monikers for their other kids. While at one school – Thomas's School in Battersea – Prince George was simply called George, just like any other child. But William and Kate apparently abbreviated to PG and he is then called "Tips", in a nod to the British family-favourite tea brand.

The couple's youngest, Prince Louis, was once known as Boss Baby by some fans owing to his strong personality.
