When contemplating how the young royals address their parents, one might envision grand titles and formalities.
However, the reality is surprisingly down-to-earth.
During a royal visit to Leicester in 2018, Kate Middleton and Prince William were observed engaging with their children, Princess Charlotte and Prince George.
In a candid moment, Middleton shared with a royal fan named Fiona Sturgess that Prince George affectionately referred to his father as “Pops.”
The choice of moniker, “Pops,” by the young Prince is not only endearing but also carries a touch of nostalgia, reminiscent of a bygone American era.
This revelation sheds light on the close bond shared between the future King of England and his son, showcasing a more relatable side to the royal family dynamic.
Nicknaming has long been a cherished tradition within the royal family, with Queen Elizabeth herself being affectionately referred to as “Lilibet” and other playful monikers.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have upheld this tradition within their own household, with unique monikers for each family member.
Prince George is playfully known as “Tips,” a nod to his initials PG and a popular tea brand in England, while Princess Charlotte is lovingly called “Mignonette,” translating to “cute one” in French, as revealed in a video from 2019.
In addition to these endearing nicknames, Prince William has also been overheard addressing his wife with terms of endearment such as “poppet,” “darling,” and “babe.”
The use of such intimate and affectionate terms further humanizes the future King and Queen, showcasing a side of royalty that is relatable and warm.
While it remains uncertain whether Prince George's younger siblings, including Prince Louis, also refer to their father as “Pops,” the trend of using informal and affectionate terms for fathers seems to extend beyond just their immediate family.
Prince Harry's son, Archie, reportedly calls him “papa,” highlighting a shared sentiment of closeness and affection within the younger generation of the royal family.
The choice of “Pops” as a nickname for Prince William adds a touch of retro charm to his persona, blending a sense of tradition with a hint of Americana.
This endearing twist in the royal family's lexicon showcases a more casual and relatable side to the future King of England, bridging the gap between regal
