- After asking the age of a child, Kate said: ‘oh, he’s the same age as Lottie!’
- The royals famously love nicknames, with the Queen known as ‘Gary’ & ‘Gan-Gan’
The Duchess of Cambridge has revealed Princess Charlotte’s nickname is ‘Lottie’, after letting the name slip to well-wishers during a visit to Northern Ireland.
Mummy blogger Laura-Ann, 30, from Belfast, took her two-year-old son George to meet Kate and Prince William on their visit to the city’s Windsor Park stadium.
Footage of the meeting shows the Duchess speaking to the toddler, and saying: ‘Hello – what’s your name? Hi George, what a cool name you’ve got, and you look very smart in your bow tie. It’s very nice to meet you.’
Laura-Ann, a part-time estate agent, said after the event: ‘So then she asked how old Bertie [her older son] is, and I said he is four and she said “oh he’s the same age as Lottie” – she calls her Lottie!
‘I wish there was more videos because I can’t remember what she said, or I said- she’s my idol, I absolutely love her!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent Wednesday and Thursday carrying out a number of engagements in Belfast, Fermanagh and Ballymena.
They showcased their own skills during a kickabout at the stadium, home of the Irish Football Association which runs programmes to encourage young girls to play the sport, and to support clubs dealing with mental health issues
William and Kate were greeted by scores of cheering schoolchildren and stopped to chat with the crowds, with the duchess being presented with a number of bunches of flowers.

The royals often used nicknames and terms of endearment for one another.
In 2007, Prince William told NBC’s Matt Lauer that Princess Diana used to call him ‘wombat’.
The Queen, 92, has perhaps the most unlikely name; with Prince William calling her ‘Gary’ when he couldn’t pronounce grandma as a youngster. The hard-to-believe nickname has apparently stuck.
Prince George, it was revealed by his mother, called the Queen ‘Gan-Gan’ when he struggled to also say the word grandma.
In January Prince George took control of his own nickname, telling a passer-by his name was ‘Archie’.
