Princess Kate has a sense of humour
While the world of the Royal Family may seem miles apart from that of everyday Britons, there is something that brings the whole country together – silly little nicknames.
Prince Phillip is reported to have called the late Queen Elizabeth II ‘Cabbage’ as well as to have used the name ‘Lilibet’, believed to have been also widely adopted by the late monarch’s parents. The latter nickname inspired Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to name their daughter Lillibet, albeit upon announcing her birth they suggested she would be normally called Lili.
Meanwhile, King Charles and Queen Camilla reportedly used to call one another ‘Fred’ and ‘Gladys’, and Meghan is known to refer to Prince Harry as ‘H’.
Princess Kate, however, may be using the cheekiest nicknames of all, as she reportedly refers to her husband Prince William as ‘Big Willy’.
The pair met while studying at St Andrews University where Prince William picked up the name, which didn’t go unnoticed by Kate.

The Prince and Princess of Wales had a whirlwind romance during their degree, with Kate not missing out on any student rites of passage during her time there.
In her book Kate: The Future Queen, author Katie Nicholl writes that Kate had a “hectic week of partying, meeting her ‘university parents’ – older pupils who were in charge of looking after freshers – finding her way around town and settling into her residence hall”.
She adds: “Kate soon found her way around and was often seen relaxing in the common room, curled up in an armchair, a cup of tea in hand, either reading newspaper articles her father rather touchingly mailed to her or getting to know her fellow hall mates.”
According to Nicholl, the future Queen had been dubbed ‘Beautiful Kate’ by the end of Freshers’ Week. She writes: “She was initially more reserved than many of the other young women, but her natural beauty was apparent.”
