Man, she must have been mad.....
LaChicaMadrilena said:I have read in Letizia Ortiz's blog (of course it isn't her blog, but nevermind) that:
Letizia calls her Prince Charming: "High boy", "Filip" or "Principazu"
Felipe calls his Princess: "Dońa", "Ortiz" or "Jefe"
I have no idea if it's truth.
VictoriaRomanov said:I don't know who (maybe the tabloids) but one of Princess Anne name's is Princess Grumpy. Does any body know who gave her this nickname?
Vanesa said:Humm...I don't know. This nickname seems to be very inappropiate to Princess Anne. She is always smiling and when she was a little girl she appears in photos even laughing frankly...
Vanesa.
Vanesa said:I was a little reluctant over the fact of posting the name "Alexei" as a surname, since some people is actually using it as his name, saying that "Alexis" is only an English version of Alexei. But a friend of mine, who is of Russian origine, said me that "Alexis" is the correct name and "Alexei" only the common Russian nickname to Alexis. I think I must believe him, not only for he speaks currently Russian to his family, but because his own name is Alexis and her granny used to call him "Alexei"...
Some other Russian person here to affirm or deny this info? I'm very interested in Alexis REAL name!

Like JokeGrandDuchessOlga said:Countess Alexandra of Frederiksborg is always referred as Alex and has been for 12 years now.
Prince Joachim is called Jokke. Sounds stupid but funny But I think it is merely in private homes (at least in ours)
Siepie said:Alexander of the Netherlands enjoys a beer. So that's why some of his friends called him 'Prins Pils' which means 'Prince Beer'.
I know lots of people in the Netherlands (including myself) call Willem-Alexander 'Wim-Lex', as 'Wim' is short for Willem and 'Lex' for Alexander...
Prince William was called wombat by Diana
In the Italian Royal Family, King Umberto II was called "Bepo", his sister Jolanda "Anda", while his sister Mafalda "Muti" and, after the wedding, "Mauve"; before the birth of Umberto, the Duchess of Aosta used to call her son Amedeo, then 2nd in the line of Succession, "Mon petit roi", "My little king", sure that he would have been the future King of Italy. She also used to call Queen Elena "Bergère", "Shepherd", hinting at her origins in Montenegro.
All the children of Duke Maximilian and Duchess Ludovika in Bavaria had a nickname:
Ludwig Wilhelm was Louis
Helene was Nenè
Elisabeth was Lisi or Sisi
Karl Theodor was Gackl
Marie Sophie was Spatz
Maximilian Emanuel was Mapperl
The only nickname I don't know is the one of Sophie Charlotte.
