Lots of kids end up with nicknames during their school years, and it looks like Prince George, despite being royalty, is just like everyone else.

The future king currently attends St Thomas’s school in Battersea, London, which costs £17,600 a year.

Chump change for his parents we’re sure.

So what is his nickname, given to hime by his pals?

‘PG’, which of course stands for Prince George. Not very original but sweet as it’s a nod to his royal status but at the same time very casual.

Vanity Fair add that in a cockney play on the nickname, his parents Kate Middleton and Prince William take the moniker PG one step further and call him ‘Tips,’ in reference to the tea brand PG Tips.

It seems that both George and his parents are like any other family who attend the school, with Kate and Wills doing the school run themselves every day.

‘He’s very popular and has lots of friends, and there’s very little fuss about who he is,’ a parent of another child at the school told Vanity Fair.

‘Either William or Kate do drop off, and they are always very friendly. William particularly loves to have a chat with some of the parents and works out with some of the mums at the Harbour Club after drop off.’

‘He’s very chatty and amiable.’

How funny is it that William is at one with the mums at the school gates?

Charlotte has followed in her sibling’s footsteps and also attends the same school, though whether her pals have given her a nickname like Prince George has yet to be revealed.

However, it has been said that Kate shortens Charlotte’s name to Lottie in private and Prince William was once overheard calling her by the French term of endearment, Mignonette, which means cutie.
