Prince George, second in line to the British throne, has been given an adorable nickname by his former classmates, which has reportedly caught on at home. The young royal started at Eton in September, and it is not yet known whether his new classmates have adopted the nickname he picked up at his last school.
His former schoolmates reportedly called him “PG,” a nod to his “Prince George” initials. Princess Catherine and Prince William are also said to call their son “PG” or “PG Tips,” like the British tea brand, according to The Sun.
Royal Nicknames for Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis
Prince George is not the only royal with a sweet nickname. Prince William reportedly called his daughter, Princess Charlotte, “Mignonette,” which is French for “cute,” during the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show. A woman who met the couple said Princess Charlotte's parents also call her “Lottie.”
She told the Daily Mail: “I said he is four and she said 'oh, he's the same age as Lottie' — she calls her Lottie!”
As for Prince Louis, Princess Catherine let slip his nickname during a royal engagement with the scouts. While toasting marshmallows, she said: “Pop that on the fire Lou-bugs.” Prince Louis was keen to tuck into his toasted marshmallow, and his mum and a scout leader helped him put it together, as William remarked: “You won't hear a peep out of him now.”
First Day at Eton
Prince George arrived at Eton College with William and Kate on his first day. Eton's headmaster, Simon Henderson, and Sir Nicholas Coleridge, the school's Provost, who serves as the chair of the governing body, greeted the trio in the quadrangle. “Welcome,” Henderson told him. “Good luck. Enjoy it.”
After the brief photocall, it is William and Catherine's wish that George's education will take place away from public view. All the while, both of his parents are said to be slowly easing him into his future role.
