Princess Anne's sweet nickname for King Charles that made him 'burst out laughing'

Princess Anne and King Charles laugh as they attend the Braemar Highland Gathering at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park on September 3, 2022 in Braemar.

Like any family, the royals have some pretty unique nicknames for each other, from the Princess of Wales calling Prince Louis ‘Lou-Bugs’ to Prince Philip allegedly calling Queen Elizabeth ‘Cabbage’ as a term of endearment. Not all of them are publicly-known, but Princess Anne’s nickname for King Charles was revealed in 2023.

Out of all Queen Elizabeth’s children, these two are the closest in age and the Princess Royal is a much-respected source of support for her older brother. Their bond and sense of humour comes through in so many subtle moments - and Anne’s remark after the coronation was one of them.
