Princess Charlotte has a beloved nickname she has received from school friends who know her not by her royal title, but by a much more normal name.

The “feisty” Princess, 9, has attended Lambrook School in Berkshire since September 2022, where she enjoys schooling as far from royal life as she can get. Her parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, have ensured she receives a comparatively normal upbringing as she is known as Charlotte Cambridge.

The third-in-line to the throne is, nevertheless, still referred to by her most recent royal title, reports suggest. Her pals are said to shorten her name and call her Lottie Wales, with the youngsters nodding to her parents’ positions as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The two received the honour following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, when the former Prince of Wales, King Charles III, passed them forward. Instagram influencer Laura-Ann revealed Princess Kate also calls her daughter by the adorable nickname when she and her sons George, two, and Bertie, four, met her during a Windsor event.

Documenting the conversation with the royal, she said she started by asking about her youngest, praising his bowtie and saying: “It’s nice to meet you.” She added: “So then she asked how old Bertie is, and I said he is four and she said, ‘Oh, he’s the same age as Lottie’. She calls her Lottie!”

Charlotte also has a host of other nicknames – this time from her family. Her parents recognise her “feisty” personality by calling her “Warrior Princess”, Katie Nicholl, Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent has previously said. And during a shopping trip to The Range in 2018, a shopper told the Daily Mail they overheard Kate calling her daughter “poppet”.

Charlotte isn’t the only member of the Wales family with her own nickname, as Kate and William have one adorable moniker for Prince George. The couple reportedly once abbreviated his initials to PG, and started calling him “Tips” after the British household tea brand.

Their youngest child, six-year-old Prince Louis, was once known by fans as “Boss Baby”, the protagonist from the film of the same name. The nickname caught on after the Prince joined the Waleses on family outings and his strong personality became increasingly obvious.
