Your Majesty.
It may be how the rest of the world addresses the Queen, but there is one small – and adorable – exception to the rule.
Prince George.
His Royal Cuteness has an equally cute nickname for his great-grandmother, dropping the ‘great’ to call her ‘Granny’ or ‘Nanny’ instead.
Prince William revealed the nickname as he walked from church to The Queen’s Sandringham estate after Princess Charlotte’s christening on Sunday.
Walking hand-in-hand with his son, the Duke of Cambridge said “they’re coming, they’re all coming” to the royal toddler, who was looking back at the Middleton’s and the royals.
Prince William said either “we can go back to nanny’s” or “we can go back to granny’s” revealed The UK’s Mirror, who obtained video footage of the conversation.
Princess Charlotte’s christening was the first time the family of four appeared together publicly, as they walked between the Sandringham Estate and St Mary Magdalene Church.
Kate looked stunning in an Alexander McQueen coat and a Jane Taylor Hat.
Though it was Prince George who once again stole the show wearing a cute red and white outfit, similar to one his father, William wore as a child.
Earlier the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall arrived.
Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton, along with her sister Pippa also came to share the special occasion.
The ceremony, which started at 4:30pm local time, was witnessed by fans and locals who came to wish the Princess well from the paddock beside the church.
Adding to the excitement, the godparents chosen for Charlotte were also announced – and none of them are royal.
Kate and Wills chose Sophie Carter, James Meade, Adam Middleton, The Hon Laura Fellowes and Thomas van Straubenzee for the honourable role.
Charlotte wore a replica of The Royal Christening Robe, the same one worn by her older brother George when he was christened.
The original was made in 1841 for the christening of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, Victoria, Princess Royal.
The original gown was subsequently worn for all Royal christenings, including The Queen, her children and her grandchildren, until the youngest of The Queen’s eight grandchildren, James, Viscount Severn.
The Queen commissioned Angela Kelly to make a hand-made replica of the Royal Christening Robe in order to preserve the original.
