Indeed in a new video released by the Cambridge family earlier this week, keen-listening fans heard a sound bite that’s melted hearts across the world, and it’s solely because of one word Prince William said.

As he swung on the now infamous rope swing, which sits in his wife Duchess Catherine’s newly revealed garden design for the Chelsea Flower Show, Prince William was filmed calling to his young daughter.

In the clip, fans have revelled after hearing William say what sounds like: “mignonette”, which, in French is a diminutive of the word ‘cute’.

Too cute!

While it definitely sounds like Wills is saying the adorable nickname, other royal fans have suggested he was simply saying: “Have you been on this yet?”

Boy had she, and indeed it seems the entire royal family had been on the swing – with George also seen in the new royal footage trying his hand at it, as well as Kate who was pictured on the swing in a rare candid snap before revealing the garden in all its glory.

According the The Mail on Sunday, Charles calls his daughter-in-law Meghan Markle ‘Tungsten’ because she’s “tough and unbending just like the very strong metal.”

Prince William and Duchess Catherine also have their own pet names for each other, including ‘poppet’.

As for Prince Philip, “Cabbage”, “Darling” and “Lilibet” are among the names he uses for Her Majesty herself!
