It appears like everyone in the royal family has a nickname.
Prince Charles is known as “Tungsten”, which is a word used to describe tough metal or a heavy stone. Queen Elizabeth was known as “Lilibet” growing up and supposedly a name she is still called by her husband, Prince Philip.
And now, it appears Meghan Markle had a few nicknames growing up and TBH, they’re all pretty adorable. The Duchess of Sussex, who grew up in Los Angeles was known as Meg, Flower and M&M as a child.

Writing a blog on her now deleted site, The Tig, Meghan revealed her nicknames in a Q&A session with fans – explaining that her mom has called her Flower all her childhood.
Meghan’s parents divorced when she was six-years-old and therefore she spent most of her time with her mother. Many believe the name flower derived from Meghan’s love of flowers as both her Instagram and blog was once filled with images of fresh bouquets.

And although Meghan’s nickname M&M could be inspired by the chocolate treat and popular American candy “M&M’s”, there is also a high chance it’s to do with the fact her initials are MM. Coincidence? We think so.
Meghan Markle spoke a lot about her childhood in her blog The Tig, often mentioning her mother and speaking of various childhood tales. It’s clear Meghan has a close relationship with her mother, Doria Ragland. The 61-year-old was Meghan’s only relative to travel over to the UK for the royal wedding in May of this year when Meghan took Prince Harry’s hand in marriage becoming the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan has previously spoken about becoming a princess in her blog too… long before she met Harry. You can read all about that here.
