During term-time, the Royal children attend Lambrook School in Berkshire. Prior to relocating to Windsor, both George and Charlotte were students at Thomas's Battersea in south London.

Despite their Royal status, insiders reveal that the children are treated no differently than their peers once they enter the school gates. This is a sentiment fully endorsed by Kate and William, who are keen for their children to experience as 'normal' a childhood as possible. Consequently, Charlotte uses a different name at school.

Both of these are quite lengthy, and it's unlikely that her classmates or teachers would use them. Therefore, she follows the tradition of her older brother and other family members by using her parents' title as her surname.

Hence, she is known as Charlotte Cambridge, reports the Mirror . (Image: Getty Images) George, formally known as George Alexander Louis, His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, is commonly referred to as George Cambridge. This naming style was also adopted by his father William and uncle Harry , who used their father Charles' title - Wales - as their surname during school and military careers.

However, the six year old Charlotte Cambridge has been known by other names over the years. A family video clip from the Royal Chelsea Flower Show in 2019 revealed her nickname when Prince William called out to his daughter. Instead of 'Charlotte', he affectionately referred to her as 'Mignonette'.

The French term is reportedly defined as "small, sweet, and delicate" or "cute", with older definitions also suggesting it means gentle and kind. This contrasts with the nickname Kate has previously used for her daughter - Lottie. In 2019, during a Royal visit to Northern Ireland, Kate met a mother named Laura-Ann and her son.

Laura-Ann later shared on Instagram that Kate had shared her nickname for Charlotte during their conversation, stating: "She asked how old Bertie is, and I said he is four and she said, 'Oh, he's the same age as Lottie.' She calls her Lottie!" Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks. Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
