A different summer for Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is preparing to live a summer marked by her recent diagnosis of cancer, received this past March. Despite the second moment, the wife of Prince William of England is following a chemotherapy treatment that seems to be working favorably. A few days ago, he appeared in public again during the Wimbledon final, showing gradual improvement.
Vacation plans in the middle of the fight
British media have been abuzz with news from circles close to the royal couple revealing they are planning a holiday to unwind after an emotionally intense season. Kate has to continue her chemotherapy sessions, which limits her days away to allow for close monitoring by doctors.
According to Semana magazine, the rest days will be spent ‘away from the media spotlight’, in Norfolk, a town located three hours from London, where they are expected to spend a few weeks with their children. This year they will not travel abroad as they usually do. The only trip planned is a visit to Scotland next month to see Charles III and Camila for a few days.
Details about family life
On the other hand, the British press has revealed an interesting detail about life at home with the Windsors. In an article published by The Mirror, they talk about the affectionate nickname with which they refer to Kate and William’s eldest son, George.
George’s nickname
Before attending his current school, George went to another educational center where his classmates nicknamed him George PG, an acronym for Prince of Wales. Later, this nickname evolved into PG Tips, and finally just Tips. As the newspaper reported, the parents found the nickname endearing and decided to adopt it at home as well.
This nickname is an affectionate way of referring to him, and according to the newspaper, George enjoys a lot of popularity and friends at school, where his royal status is not much talked about.
Nicknames for the whole family
Kate and William’s other children also have their special nicknames. Little Charlotte is called Lottie or Poppet, while Louis is called Lou Bugs. This tendency of the Windsor family to give their members nicknames reflects the affection with which they address each other.
