The Duke of Cambridge reportedly couldn't pronounce 'Granny' when he was little so he came up with a hilarious alternative for his grandmother the Queen
June 24, 2022 - 15:07 BST Danielle Stacey Like any other family, the royals have their own sweet and sometimes funny nicknames for one another. The Queen's moniker, Lilibet, was coined during her childhood when she struggled to pronounce her full name, Elizabeth, and it was even used by her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Duchess of Cambridge revealed Prince George's nickname for his great-grandmother in her first solo interview for the ITV documentary, Our Queen at Ninety, in 2016:"George is only two-and-a-half and he calls her 'Gan-Gan.' She always leaves a little gift or something in their room when we go and stay and that just shows her love for her family."
"I was nicknamed Squeak just like my guinea pig," she said."There was one called Pip and one called Squeak because my sister was called Pippa and I was Squeak."
