Royal Nicknames: From Mama to Sausage, What the Royals Call Each Other Behind Closed Doors
Being a member of the royal family means having lots of exciting and fancy titles.
However, when it comes to private gatherings, the royals have a different way of addressing each other.
They use sweet, funny, and sometimes bizarre nicknames instead of their official titles.
The Queen of England is called Mama by the royal gang, but new members like Meghan Markle cannot use the nickname until they get to know her better.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte refer to her as Gan-Gan.
However, the Queen's husband, Prince Philip, has his own unique names for her, including Lily-Bet and Sausage.

The Queen's strangest nickname is Gary, which she got from Prince William.
As a child, he couldn't pronounce Granny properly and began calling her Gary after falling over in Buckingham Palace.
The Queen replied, “I'm Gary.
He hasn't learned to say Granny yet.”
Princess Diana used to call her firstborn, Prince William, Wombat.
He explained that it began when he was two years old, during a trip to Australia with their parents.
At the University of St. Andrews, Prince William went by the name Steve to keep a low profile.
He met his future wife, Kate Middleton, at university, and they referred to each other as Darling and Babe during a day out at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2016.
Kate Middleton's nickname at school was Squeak, while her sister was called Pip.
Later on, her friends at Marlborough College called her the Princess in Waiting, which turned out to be accurate.
Prince Harry's real name is Henry, but he goes by Harry.
When he was younger, he had a secret Facebook page under the code name Spike Wells.
Meghan Markle's pals call him Hazza, but he reportedly doesn't like the nickname.
As for Meghan Markle, Prince Charles calls her Tungsten because, like the metal, she is tough and unbending.
Meghan is the royal gang's newest member, but she has already been given a nickname by her father-in-law.
In conclusion, while the royals have official titles for public events, they use endearing nicknames in private.
From Mama to Sausage, Wombat to Tungsten, these nicknames show a more personal and affectionate side of the royal family.
