Here’s a list of legitimate nicknames given to Prince William by his mother, Diana, and his wife, Kate:

Wombat. Big Willie. The Basher.

Takes me back to the series finale of Blackadder where George starts reminiscing about old school friends, including Bumfluff, Drippy, Mr Floppy and Strangely Brown.

Anyway, Prince Wombat isn’t the only one to have earned a nickname in the royal household.

According to News Corp Australia, The Sunday Times has revealed what the paper alleges is the cruel pet name one senior member of the royal family has bestowed upon Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

According to the piece by former Tatler journalist Sophia Money-Coutts, one “very senior member of the royal family” has reportedly taken to calling Meghan “The degree wife”.

Why, you might ask? Because, according to this royal source, “she will only last three years.”

All of this once again comes from an unnamed ‘palace source’, who could be anyone ranging from one of the staff to the inside of Sophia Money-Coutts’ imagination.

I guess we’ll never know.

It also isn’t the first time that Meghan has landed a less than flattering nickname.

Over the last six months, there have been reports that she had been allegedly dubbed ‘Duchess Difficult’ by some palace staffers because of her propensity to, gasp, get up early and send emails to her team.

Then were also claims aired in March by society bible Tatler that Kensington Palace staff had taken to referring to the Duchess of Sussex as ‘Me-Gain.’

This has all come out shortly after Trump called Meghan “nasty”.

Look, if this is the biggest scandal the tabloids could come up with this week, things must be pretty chilled in and around the Palace.
