Princess Kate’s sweet nickname for King Charles behind closed doors revealed
The Princess of Wales and her father-in-law, King Charles, have an incredibly close bond. But did you know Kate has the sweetest nickname for her father-in-law behind closed doors?
The Mail’s Richard Jobson reported that Kate calls Charles ‘Grandpa,’ according to a courtier. His Majesty is known to have a couple of affectionate names for his daughter-in-law, including both ‘Beloved daughter-in-law’ and ‘Darling daughter-in-law.’ According to the report, he always greets her with a “loving kiss.”
ack in April, a source told HELLO! that while the pair have always shared a close relationship, the bond between them grew as they turned to each other for comfort during their respective cancer diagnoses and treatments.
The King paid Kate a bedside visit when they were both staying at the London Clinic, and the pair shared a private lunch in Windsor the day before she revealed her cancer diagnosis to the world in March.
Robert Hardman, author of “Charles III,” also explained: “It’s very clear that he’s extremely concerned about her. I think he wants to make sure as much as he can that if there’s anything he can do, he will do, because for a very fit and healthy young mother, this is a different order of magnitude than someone having to deal with this in their 70s.
“I’m sure he’s been a source of comfort for her in the same way she’s probably been a source of comfort for him,” he adds. “I think it cannot but have brought them even closer together. He’s always had a huge regard for his daughter-in-law. He thinks she’s just wonderful.
