The Royal Family's Most Shocking Secret Revealed: Prince Philip's Cheeky Nickname for Queen Elizabeth II
It's been three years since the world lost its beloved Queen Elizabeth II, but it seems that even in death, she continues to surprise us with her intriguing life story. A recent revelation on Reddit has sent shockwaves through the royal family and their fans worldwide: Prince Philip's adorable nickname for his wife, Queen Elizabeth II, was a cheeky "cabbage"!
The sweet moniker, which translates to "my little cabbage" in French, is a term of endearment that dates back centuries. But who knew that Prince Philip, the devoted husband and father, affectionately referred to his wife as "Cabbage"? The news has left royal watchers stunned, with many taking to social media to share their reactions.
"It's hilarious!" exclaimed one Reddit user in the 'Today I Learned' thread. "I had no idea he called her that!"
According to British historian and biographer Robert Lacey, Prince Philip indeed used the nickname for his wife throughout their 73-year marriage. In an interview with The Sunday Times in 2006, Lacey revealed that the term was a playful way for the Prince to refer to his beloved Queen.
But "cabbage" isn't the only nickname in the royal family's repertoire. It's rumored that Prince Philip also affectionately called his wife "sausage." However, it seems that "Cabbage" has stuck as the most memorable and endearing term.
The news of Prince Philip's sweet nickname has been met with a mix of amusement and admiration from fans worldwide. One Twitter user praised the Queen's sense of humor, writing, "I'm loving this! Who knew Queen Elizabeth II had such a cheeky side?"
