Royals kids have unique nicknames for Queen Elizabeth and Camilla
It is obvious that Queen Camilla too goes by a different moniker than the conventional “grandma”. She has five grandkids of her own and then there are Prince William and Prince Harry's children as well. Camilla once told Lady Gaga that her stepchildren referred to her as 'GaGa', reported The Sun. Following the birth of Prince George, she told the Daily Mail, “My own grandchildren call me GaGa. I don’t know if it’s because they think I am! It is funny but is still very sweet.”
Prince George gave an endearing nickname to Queen Elizabeth. He used to call his great-grandmother, ‘Gan-Gan’. Speaking in 2016, Kate Middleton remarked following the birth of Princess Charlotte that she feels “very special” to have a little girl. “I feel very, very lucky that George has got a little sister,” she added.
She further mentioned that George started calling her 'Gan-Gan' when he was only two-and-a-half.
