Even by their standards, Prince William and Kate have had a busy start to the year.Most of us now refer to our parents as “mom” and “dad” or a similar variation.
However, it turns out that Prince George and Princess Charlotte refer to their father, William, in a very different way. William is the next in line to succeed, and that entails a lot of responsibility. As history has demonstrated, scandals never make a royal’s work easier.
He and Kate Middleton have taken on their royal duties with great seriously, and they have thus far done a wonderful job of keeping their names out of rumors and conjecture.
Such a scandal began when Harry and Meghan left the Firm years ago. Then, things took an even more serious turn after their Oprah appearance and more recently, their open Netflix series. In the documentary that was released in December, William and Kate were mostly spared any personal criticism. But they had nowhere to run once Harry’s book Spare was published.
Harry divulged a number of details about the pair, largely relating to his brother, including the fact that William had occasionally slapped him. In addition, Harry included their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis in the narrative, which many felt went too far.
William and Kate required extra living space after the birth of Prince George. This required relocating to Kensington Palace. While this was going on, Harry relocated to Nottingham Cottage, which was right next door to his brother’s new residence.
Harry quickly began to sense that something was off. The Duke wrote a book in which he expressed his happiness in relocating to Nottingham Cottage, which is only a short stroll from Kensington Palace. Or, as he put it, “half a football pitch away”.
As Harry described it, so close was he that he could hear William and Kate’s nanny going past with the stroller at all hours.
He said it was “nice to get out of the old place, but even better to live in front of Willy and Kate,” and that he “could see myself dropping in to see them all the time.”
Harry had fantasies of dropping by William and Kate’s, hanging out with George, and “throwing himself on the floor” to engage in a duel with his nephew.As previously mentioned, Harry’s book made several revelations about his life in the Firm, including information about his background and criticism of his family.
Prince George, Harry’s youngest nephew, has drawn criticism from a royal specialist for being mentioned in the book. Harry stated that after Prince George was born, he wasn’t asked to William and Kate’s home to spend time with him.
It didn’t, however, end there. In addition, he disclosed that Princess Charlotte had sobbed in front of Meghan’s wedding. Some detractors claimed that Harry had breached Charlotte’s privacy by doing so.
Harry once more chose to discuss William and Kate’s three children in an interview with The Telegraph to promote his book.He acknowledged that he sincerely worries about Princess Charlotte and Prince Luis, his niece and nephew, “ending up” like him.
“Though William and I have talked about it once or twice, and he has made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility, I still feel a responsibility knowing that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare,” Harry said.
“And that hurts, that worries me.”
Harry continued: “I was brought into the world in case something happened to Willy, I was summoned to provide backup, distraction, diversion and, if necessary, a spare part. Kidney, perhaps. Blood transfusion. Speck of bone marrow. This was all made explicitly clear to me from the start of life’s journey and regularly reinforced thereafter.”
According to the order of succession, Prince William will succeed King Charles as heir to the throne. Prince George will inherit the throne from William after him, but if something were to happen to him, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis would take over.
Spare is the first time Harry has discussed William and Kate’s kids so openly. Ingrid Seward, a royal author, cautioned him against expanding on his remarks after he said them.
“Harry should lay off Prince William’s children. In fact, he should lay off everybody and button it now,” she told The Sun. “It is a very dangerous road to go down, to start talking about other people’s children.”
She added: “And what he says Prince William said to him is absolutely right – they are William’s responsibility and not his, so he should keep out of it.”
“It is none of Harry’s business. But Harry has become dangerous to his family, and to himself, because he can lob in his little asides whenever he wants.”
Of course, we have no way of knowing how much knowledge George, Charlotte, and Louis have of the situation. They will discover everything about their family history as they mature, but for now, it’s crucial that they experience childhood as “normal” youngsters. That is, at least, the wish of William and Kate for them.
That William and Kate were raised so differently should go without saying. Despite the fact that the Princess of Wales did not have a particularly difficult upbringing, one can only speculate about William’s upbringing considering that he was the royal heir. Then there is the trauma that William went through after the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
William and Kate have mostly looked to Kate Middleton’s parents for advice on how to raise their children since they want their children to enjoy as “normal” of a childhood as they possibly can.
Duncan Larcombe, a royal specialist, claims that William and Kate favor the “Middleton model” for their kids. Also mentioned are dedicated parents and “lots of love in the house.”Additionally, William and Kate want their kids to be more than simply their kids—they also want them to be their friends.
“By the time Kate was in her early twenties, she counted her mother and father on the list of her best friends. That’s what William and Kate are aspiring to with their children, but they also have to drip-feed George and, to some extent, Charlotte and Louis, into the public domain,” Larcombe told OK!.
The royal expert stated that William and Kate wouldn’t have allowed Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis to appear in public at all if they had the option.Sadly, that is not a practical choice.
“Because if the public doesn’t fall in love with Prince George as a little boy, then he’s going to be playing catch up for the rest of his life. By the time the Queen came to the throne, the nation had fallen in love with Princess Elizabeth because they felt her pain,” Duncan said.
“They saw her very popular father, the unexpected King, die at such a young age and the public loved and supported the Queen because of what happened to her father,” the expert said.
Duncan added: “Although there are some similarities, George is being raised in a very different way to Prince William. William has based his children’s upbringing on the Middleton model – three children, affluent, but hard-working parents, and lots of love in the house.”
“I had an amazing granny who devoted a lot of time to us, playing with us, doing arts and crafts and going to the greenhouse to do gardening, and cooking with us,” Kate said.
“And I try and incorporate a lot of the experiences that she gave us at the time into the experiences that I give my children now.”
While William and Kate are doing their best to raise the royal kids normally, they also have to think for the future. Prince George will now lead the life of a future monarch.
Prince George will be required to perform many other royal tasks as he gets older, and attending events is just one of them. Of course, he will have a wide range of duties to manage as the incoming king.
It’s thought that William and Kate are gradually revealing to him what his future would entail. According to rumors, George, like his father, will certainly start working as a royal full-time by the age of 35, if not earlier.
So being ready is essential for a future monarch.Despite the fact that George and his brothers will probably devote their lives to serving the king, it’s important for them to have a normal upbringing as well.
Within the Firm, titles and other regal greetings have always been customs, but they also have another, softer side. The children are no different from the other royals in having nicknames for one another.
According to reports, the Royal Family has long used nicknames. According to royal biographer Robert Lacey, Prince Philip referred to Queen Elizabeth as “Cabbage.” Her Majesty’s close family gave her the illustrious nickname “Lilibet.” When she was young, it was given to her because she had trouble pronouncing her actual name, Elizabeth
Meanwhile, Harry usually calls Kate Middleton “Cath”, while William is said to call his wife “DoD,” which is short for the “Duchess of Dolittle.”
George & Charlotte has their own nickname for William
As one may have guessed, there are numerous nicknames used within the realm of royalty. The future generation of royals is currently occupied with creating nicknames for the members of their family.
Kate Middleton previously disclosed that Prince George had a special nickname for Queen Elizabeth. His first nickname for her was “Gan-Gan,” which is short for great-grandma. Then, when Princess Charlotte was born, it came to light that they referred to the future King Charles as “Grandpa Wales” and that George referred to his father, Prince William, as “Pops.”
When Prince George was a student at Thomas’s Battersea School, he acquired a nickname. Prince George’s initials, “P.G,” were used to refer to him.
A lot of people will always refer to their parents as “mom” and “dad,” “mother” or “father.” However, it appears that doesn’t apply to William and Kate’s offspring within the Royal Family
The royal family decided to give William a new nickname after hearing him speak on the radio, according to British TV chef Ainsley Harriott. It’s “Poachy, Poachy, Poachy.”
Harriott claimed that he joked about cooking a fish in the bathtub while discussing ways to pass the time in the bath with Radio 1.Greg reportedly wondered, “Could you cook a fish in the bath?” “I responded, “Yes, if it’s a tiny seabass or plaice or anything similar. A thick bit of fish wouldn’t poach, therefore you wouldn’t want it.
Harriott added: “Anyway, apparently, Prince William and Kate were taking George and Charlotte to school, and they found it hysterical.”
Later, William made an appearance on the radio and declared, “The kids love it. They enjoyed hearing you mention eating fish from the water.
Later, Ainsley Harriott altered his slogan from “Why hello there, Jill,” which had gained popularity after he unexpectedly visited the home of an old woman on live television, to “Why hello there, Will. When he first encountered William, he was “Poachy, Poachy, Poachy.”
That seems to have had a significant impact on George and Charlotte, who have given their father and future king a new moniker.”Now, George and Charlotte refer to their father as Poachy. Isn’t that wonderful and sweet?” asked the TV chef.
Over the years, Prince William has gone by more than one moniker. Several times in his book Spare, Harry called his brother “Willy”. Additionally, when he was a little child, Princess Diana, his mother, used to call him “Wombat.”
“It began when I was two … 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,” William revealed in a 2007 interview.
