Members of the British Royal Family are no strangers to using affectionate nicknames for each other in private circles.
Queen Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, has been lovingly bestowed with a special moniker by her grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Within the royal realm, such endearing titles are a customary practice, as evidenced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s choice to honor the late Queen by naming their daughter Lilibet.
During a candid conversation, Queen Elizabeth II disclosed that Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s children had personally selected the name by which they address her, opting for a more personalized touch rather than the conventional “grandmother” or “great-grandmother.”
In a surprising revelation to singer Lady Gaga during the Royal Variety Performance in 2016, Camilla shared that her step-grandchildren affectionately refer to her as Gaga, a unique designation chosen to avoid any confusion with the names of other family members.
While Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have been raised recognizing Camilla as their grandfather’s spouse, Prince William took deliberate steps to ensure that they were well-informed about their paternal grandmother, Princess Diana.
The Queen’s familial ties extend beyond her immediate descendants to include her son’s children Lola and Freddie Parker Bowles, as well as her daughters’ offspring Eliza, Louis, and Gus Lopes.
Known for her close bond with her grandchildren, Camilla enthusiastically shared anecdotes about engaging in daily wordle challenges with one of her granddaughters.
Describing the satisfaction derived from these interactions, she recounted playful exchanges where her granddaughter would playfully critique her performance, fostering a nurturing and intellectually stimulating relationship.
The depth of affection between Camilla and her grandchildren was further underscored during a significant royal event when Louis, Joss, and Freddie participated as pages alongside Prince George at Westminster Abbey.
While Camilla’s regal title has likely remained consistent over time, there is speculation that recent developments in her status may prompt a reevaluation of her designation.
In a nod to the evolving dynamics within the Royal Family, the Wells trio, who previously referred to Prince Charles as “Grandpa Wales,” may find themselves adapting to a new title following the transfer of the appellation to their father.
Drawing parallels to Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret’s fond reference to their grandfather, George V, as “Grandad England,” the tradition of endearing familial nicknames continues to endure across generations.
