The Royal Family might seem far removed from its lowly subjects – carrying out Royal duties and observing specific customs and traditions – but one thing draws the Royals closer to the public: adorable nicknames.
Prince Harry calls his new wife Meghan Markle, 37, “Meg” and the Duchess of Sussex and her friends reportedly refer to the 33-year-old prince as “Haz”.
Meanwhile, Prince William calls his wife Kate Middleton, 36, “Babe”.
But none of these nicknames got the world talking this week.
Rather, it was Prince Harry’s nickname for his sister-in-law Kate, “Cath”, which derives from her full name: Catherine, according to Marie Claire magazine.
Harry and Kate are known to be very close to each other.
Prince Harry reportedly asked his sister-in-law for her approval before marrying Meghan.
And now the Duchess of Cambridge is reportedly getting much closer to Meghan in an effort to take the American-born Duchess under her wing.
Some other Royal nicknames have surfaced over the years, with future king Prince William, 36, having revealed the one assigned to him by his doting mother, Princess Diana.
William divulged in a 2007 interview the People’s Princess used to call him “Wombat”.
Speaking to NBC’s Matt Lauer, he said: “It began when I was two.
“I’ve been rightfully told because I can’t remember back that far.
“But when we went to Australia with our parents, and the wombat, you know, that’s the local animal.
“So I just basically got called that.
“Not because I look like a wombat, or maybe I do.”
Nowadays, though, William is known to his close friends as “Wills”.
