Prince Louis’ very sweet nicknames for Princess Kate’s parents revealed
The young prince has names for his grandparents as revealed in a note thanking them.
Prince Louis often makes headlines for his cheeky antics, whether that be dancing at royal events, refusing to follow his sister’s orders or pulling funny faces, however the six-year-old made headlines last week for very different reasons.
Louis, the youngest child of Prince William and Princess Kate, both 42, attended the Princess of Wales’ Together At Christmas carol service on Friday along with his parents and two siblings Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, nine.
Before going into Westminster Abbey for the service, the young prince and his siblings were each asked to attach a note to the Kindness tree outside Westminster Abbey to thank someone who has helped them.
While Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s notes could not be read, Prince Louis used his note to thank his grandparents who he nicknamed “granny and grandpa”.

The six-year-old, like his older siblings, is believed to share a close bond with his grandparents Carole and Michael Middleton, which has strengthened this year as a result of Princess Kate’s cancer battle.
While the princess underwent chemotherapy, which ended in September, her parents Carole and Michael helped their daughter with the school run and childcare, and reportedly had the three children round their home for sleepovers.
A friend of Carole, 69, also said how Kate’s mum had become like “Mary Poppins”. They told the Independent: “Carole has been the driving force keeping the family together with minimum fuss and maximum modesty.
“She’s ferried and fetched George, Louis and Charlotte, taken them to school sports matches and given them endless support. She’s been a real Mary Poppins-like figure.”

While Louis also shares a close bond with King Charles, his other grandparent, it is not known what the six-year-old calls him.
The pair have shared a number of sweet moments over recent years including at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations where a young Louis insisted on sitting on his grandfather’s lap.
He was then seen laughing and smiling at the King as they watched the celebrations together.
