It is said Prince George’s schoolmates call him “PG”, in a nod to his “Prince George” initials. 

And it seems the nickname has stuck at home too, as Kate Middleton and Prince William are also said to call their son “PG” or “PG Tips” like the British tea brand.

Royals at school are typically known by their first name and their parents’ title for their surname.

So on the school register, Prince George will be referred to as George Cambridge.

This will also be true for his siblings, who will be called Charlotte Cambridge and Louis Cambridge.

This follows Prince William and Prince Harry taking the surname Wales at school, as their dad Charles is known as the Prince of Wales.

Willam also has a very sweet nickname for daughter Charlotte, and he was overheard saying it at the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show.

Instead of saying “Charlotte”, he called his adorable daughter “Mignotte”, which is French for “cute.”

Meanwhile, after William and Kate toured Northern Ireland in 2019, one woman who met the couple spoke about the interaction.

She told the Daily Mail: “I said he is four and she said ‘oh, he’s the same age as Lottie’ — she calls her Lottie!”

This year may be extra nerve-wracking for Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven, as they are starting a new school, the £7,000-a-term Lambrook School near Ascot, Berkshire.

Their younger brother Prince Louis, four, will also be joining them this year as he starts school.

George and Charlotte previously attended Thomas’ School in Battersea, south London, while Louis went to Willcocks Nursery in South Kensington, west London.

Wills and Kate have moved their family from Apartment 1A Kensington Palace to four-bed Adelaide Cottage, and the kids will receive a top education complete with mandatory Saturday lessons. 

If the royal youngsters attend full-time without boarding, it will cost the Cambridges an estimated £53,508 per year.

The private school is a nine-mile drive from their new abode near Windsor Castle, as they move to be closer to the Queen.
