Prince William's Heartwarming Nickname From His Kids: It's 'Pops'!

Alright, here's something truly adorable from the world of royals. While many people know Prince William as "His Royal Highness," his kids—Prince George and Princess Charlotte—have a much sweeter way of addressing him. Yup, you guessed it: they call him "Pops." It's just so heartwarming, isn't it? This little tidbit came to light during a visit by Kate Middleton and Prince William to Leicester on November 28. How cute is that?

During their visit, Kate shared this delightful detail with a fan. As Leicester City Football Club season ticket holder Fionna Sturgess recounted to People, Kate mentioned that William was playing football with the kids the night before. One of them, likely George, asked, "Are you playing football tomorrow, Pops?" It's moments like these that remind us that despite their royal titles, they're just like any other family at heart.

Remembering a Special Person

On this visit to Leicester, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were there to honor the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the beloved chairman of the city’s football club. While there, the couple worked alongside volunteers to relocate flowers and other mementos to a dedicated site. When asked about their children—George, 5, Charlotte, 3, and Prince Louis, 7 months—Kate warmly replied, “They are great, thank you.” It’s always heartwarming to hear how much these little ones are cherished.

Now, here’s something else you might find interesting. William isn’t the only one with a cute nickname in the royal family. Back in 2016, during an ITV documentary celebrating Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday, The Queen at Ninety, Kate revealed that little George also has a special name for his great-grandmother. At just over two years old at the time, George affectionately calls Queen Elizabeth "Gan-Gan." How sweet is that?
