Prince William’s adorable nickname for Princess Charlotte

In a private moment between Prince William and his daughter, it has been revealed the very special nickname he calls the young Princess Charlotte.

The revelation came after a video shared by Kensington Palace showing both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge playing with their three children, Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 4 and Prince Louis, 1.

The little royals recently visited the Chelsea Flower Garden in London to see their mother’s co-designed garden, Back to Nature.

In the video, the whole family are enjoying their time together when Prince William asks his son: “What would you give it out of 10? How many marks out of 10 would you give it — 10 being the highest?”

An excited Prince George replied “Twenty!”

“Twenty out of 10? That’s pretty good,” the royal heir joked, adding, “I think Mummy’s done well.”

Prince William is then shown on the garden rope swing, calling Princess Charlotte over to “give [him] a push.”

“Mignonette?” he asked her, to which the little royal princess responded: “Yes?”

“Mignonette” is derived from a French word, “mignon”, which mean “cute” – “mignonette” translates to “dainty” or “darling.”

The royal family have spent a lot of time playing outdoors these days, with the Duchess of Cambridge’s new garden space proving to be a fun time for the little Cambridge kids. 

The garden also appeared to be a hit with other members of the royal family, including the Queen who visited the Chelsea Flower Show event recently in support of the Duchess. 

Back to Nature is a garden co-designed by Duchess Kate, as well as Andrée Davies and Adam White, which was made to bring people together to “connect with nature,” according to Kensington Palace.
