The royal family are renowned for their generous use of nicknames.
From ‘Gan Gan’ to ‘Cabbage’ – and of course ‘Lilibet’, there’s always some kind of unique moniker to take up in place of a formal name.
For Duchess Catherine – it seems she’s all for getting on-board the family tradition.
At a recent royal event for the G7 Leaders Summit in the UK, the Duchess was seen greeting Prince Charles as “Grandpa”.
Of course, this is no doubt the name used by Kate’s three children for the future King – and the use of the name comes at high time given Charles has just become a Grandpa to another little one – Harry and Meghan’s baby girl Lilibet.
