Princess Charlotte: Prince William and Kate Middleton's cute nicknames for their daughter

Publish date: 2024-09-27

Like many of us, the Prince and Princess of Wales's daughter, Princess Charlotte, has a number of nicknames.

The eight-year-old has been given some affectionate monikers, mostly by her parents, Prince William and Kate, starting with 'Lottie'.

During a visit to Windsor Park stadium in Northern Ireland in 2019, influencer Laura-Ann Barr, aka @all.thats.pretty, revealed that the Princess of Wales referred to her daughter as 'Lottie' rather than Charlotte during their conversation.

And that's not the only term of endearment that mum Kate has given her daughter.

Back in 2018, the Princess was spotted shopping with George and Charlotte at The Range.

One fellow shopper told The Daily Mail at the time that at one point, Charlotte, then aged three, was sat on the floor in the shop, prompting mum Kate to tell her: "Get up poppet."

Kate has been overheard referring to George as 'poppet', too – so it seems it's a popular family term.

And in 2019, it was revealed that William has a French pet name for his daughter.

As the then Cambridges visited Kate's Back to Nature garden at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Prince of Wales was overheard calling Charlotte 'mignonette,' a French word which means 'cute' but can also mean 'little darling' or 'cutie'. How sweet! 

The royals have an array of interesting and unique nicknames for one another.

The late Queen Elizabeth II was referred to as 'Lilibet' and as we learned from Prince Harry's memoir Spare, he and William call one another 'Willy' and 'Harold'.
