Prince George's touching nickname for Prince William revealed at Wimbledon

Prince George affectionately referred to his father Prince William using a charming, traditional nickname at Wimbledon today (July 13), as a lip reader revealed.

The youngster was with his dad in the royal box on Centre Court, where they watched defending champion Carlos Alcaraz face off against Jannik Sinner. Lip reader Jeremy discerned that George, 11, asked his father: "Papa... is that where the players walk out down there?" In response, William, 43, confirmed: "Yeah, it is yeah."

The children have previously called their father 'Papa', and a social media post for Father's Day in 2024 featured a photo of William hugging his offspring along with the caption: "We love you, Papa. Happy Father's Day. G, C and L."

Earlier that afternoon, Jeremy also deciphered a conversationbetween George, his sister Princess Charlotte, who's 10, and men's doubles champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool.

Princess Kate, 43, prompted a discussion by asking the British victors about the duration of their partnership, and then informing her children: "Wow, how about that? So, they only just started playing together ten months ago. And go on to win Wimbledon."

Charlotte expressed her amazement brightly saying: "Oh, wow."

George, in a more understated manner, commented: "Mmm nice, yeah."

Kate summed it up with: "Not bad is it."

Princess Charlotte's passion for tennis is well-known, and royal commentator Ingrid Seward told The Sun: "Charlotte has always loved tennis, and mum Kate took her to Hurlingham when she was quite young to play tennis there.

"Tennis is a big family thing on both sides."

Her mother, Princess Kate, a keen tennis follower herself and the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, was spotted at Wimbledon yesterday (July 12) for the women's singles final showdown between Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova.

The mum-of-three, who has bravely battled cancer and is now in remission, was honoured with a standing ovation. A lip-reading expert, Jeremy, managed to discern her warm response: "Sweet, very nice to hear!"
