The gesture that reveals the warm relationship between William and Queen Elizabeth
William's informal farewell to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, revealed their warm relationship.
Most members of the British royal family have nicknames that they only use in private. The new season of the series The Crown has served to reveal, for example, that Carlos and Camila used to call each other Fred and Gladys for unknown reasons, and Princess Diana was also fond of affectionate nicknames, such as the one she gave her son older, wombat, because as a child it reminded him of that adorable Australian animal.
Since childhood, those close to Queen Elizabeth II have referred to her as Lilibet, but for her grandchildren she has always been 'granny', the English word for 'grandmother', and Prince William continues to use that affectionate nickname today. from today.
This week the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a public appearance with the Queen at Windsor Castle at the final stop of their UK train tour to show their appreciation to essential workers for their efforts during the pandemic. Before leaving, Guillermo could be heard saying goodbye to the sovereign with an informal ‘bye, great!’, Which translates as ‘bye, grandmother!’.
The new generation of ‘royals’, on her part, has turned her into a ‘gan gan’. It is said that it was Prince George who invented that word, because he apparently could not pronounce 'granny' correctly.
