When it comes to school, Princess Charlotte embraces a surprisingly low-key identity.
While she’s known to the world as a royal, her everyday life at Lambrook School in Berkshire is refreshingly normal.
Here, both she and her older brother, Prince George, are encouraged to blend in with their classmates and enjoy a typical childhood experience.
To fit in, Charlotte opts for a more casual name among her peers—Charlotte Cambridge.
This choice allows her to shed some of the royal formality that comes with her full title, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, and simply be one of the kids.
It’s a clever way to navigate the complexities of being a royal while still enjoying the joys of childhood.
This isn’t just a whim; it’s a family tradition.
Her father, Prince William, and her uncle, Prince Harry, also adopted simpler names during their own schooling and military days.
They used their father’s title, Wales, as a surname, which made it easier for them to connect with their classmates.
Charlotte isn’t the only one in her family to take on a more relatable persona.
Her older brother, Prince George, goes by George Cambridge at school.
He’s even picked up a playful nickname, PG, from his friends.
It’s a nod to his initials that has apparently stuck, and even his parents have gotten in on the fun, affectionately calling him PG and Tips, after the well-known British tea brand.
The royal family seems to have a knack for playful nicknames.
