Prince William has a nickname for Kate and we are cringing inside

UGH no.

Earlier on in the week, we discovered that Prince Harry has a nickname for his sister-in-law, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge It's really rather sweet for Harry refers to her as Cath - the kind of nickname that makes sense for it fits in with her actual name. However, if reports are to be believed, Prince William also has a nickname for his wife and it's one of those nauseatingly sweet pet names that we really can't deal with. What is it, you ask? None other than 'poppet'. Way back in 2013 when the Duke and Duchess introduced their son Prince George to the world for the first time, William was heard to call Kate 'poppet'. On their way back into the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, the Duke of Cambridge apparently used the pet name when speaking to his wife, according to The Daily Mail. A little cringe but it's cute all the same. However, they're also thought to call each other 'babe' and darling, fairly standard. They attended the Chelsea Flower Show in 2016 and Kate was overheard calling William 'babe' while reminding him they had a particular kind of shrub at home. So there you go, totally down to earth and just like any other couple.
