Princess Charlotte has the sweetest nickname for her
dad Prince William, the royals have inadvertently revealed in the past.
For Mother’s Day last year, the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge shared photos of the heartfelt cards made by their
children in memory of William’s late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
Kensington Palace posted drawings made by Prince
George, eight, Princess Charlotte, and four-year-old Prince Louis alongside
their touching handwritten messages.
The message in Charlotte’s card read: “Dear
Granny Diana, I am thinking of you on Mother’s Day, I love you very much. Papa
is missing you. Lots of love Charlotte xxx.”
While the young royal calls dad William “Papa,” the
Duke was overheard calling his daughter a French-inspired nickname in
2019, when George, Charlotte and Louis visited mum Kate’s Back to Nature garden
at the Chelsea Flower Show.
William was heard calling his daughter over to push him on
the swing, referring to her as “Mignonette” rather than Charlotte. In
French, “Mignonette” means cute.
It’s previously been revealed that Kate calls her
daughter “Lottie”.

The Cambridges also shared a photo of the incredible
cake that George, Charlotte and Louis made Kate for Mother’s Day, along
with a previously unseen photo of the Duchess as a child with her mother Carole
Middleton.
The caption on social media read: “Celebrating two
other special mothers today. [Cake emoji] made by George, Charlotte and
Louis.”
It’s a special day and week for the Cambridges as Prince
William is celebrating his 40th milestone birthday on Tuesday. Kensington
Palace released three, never-before-seen photos to mark the occasion.
