As the eldest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince George has grown up in the public eye, with royal fans eagerly following his journey from a sweet toddler to a young boy embracing royal life. Despite his prominent status in the royal family, at home, George is just like any other 11-year-old boy—especially when it comes to family nicknames.
Recently, an insider close to the royal family revealed the adorable nickname that Prince George is affectionately called by his parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine, behind the palace doors. While the world knows him as Prince George of Wales, his parents often choose something much more personal and endearing. The nickname, which is said to reflect George's fun-loving personality and his parents' warm and nurturing relationship with him, has royal fans swooning over this intimate detail.
According to reports, both William and Catherine have been calling their eldest son "PG," a shortened version of his initials, ever since he was little. However, the nickname doesn’t stop there; at times, it evolves into "PG Tips," a playful reference to the famous British tea brand, adding a sweet touch of humor to the name. This little tidbit about George's home life shines a light on the down-to-earth family dynamic shared between the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children: George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Despite their royal duties and public personas, William and Catherine strive to maintain a sense of normalcy for their children, including playful moments like using nicknames around the house. The couple has always emphasized their desire for George and his siblings to have as normal a childhood as possible, given their unique positions in the line of succession to the British throne. From attending local schools in London and engaging in everyday activities to enjoying family vacations in the countryside, George's upbringing has been carefully crafted to balance royal tradition with a more modern, down-to-earth approach.
This nickname, PG, is a reflection of that balance—an informal and affectionate moniker that showcases the warmth and love within the family. It offers a rare glimpse into the more private side of the future king's life, away from the formalities and expectations that come with his title.
In December 2012, Princess Catherine and Prince William announced their pregnancy and welcomed their first child, Prince George, on July 22, 2013. Just like any other couple, the Prince and Princess of Wales were incredibly excited to welcome their first child together, and the couple had great hopes for Prince George even before he was born.
Details like this nickname humanize the royal family, making them relatable to the public. They remind everyone that beneath the crowns and titles, they are still a family like any other. Prince George, who recently celebrated his 11th birthday, has been stepping more into the spotlight, attending public events with his parents and playing an increasing role in royal engagements. However, this nickname reminds us that, at heart, he’s still a young boy enjoying the affection of his close-knit family.
As royal fans continue to watch George grow up, this glimpse into his home life adds a personal and heartwarming layer to his story. With his down-to-earth upbringing, Prince George is being prepared for a future filled with royal responsibilities, but thanks to his parents' thoughtful approach, he will carry with him not just the weight of the crown but also the loving memories of his childhood and the sweet nickname that only his closest family members know.
