Prince Louis’ adorable nickname has been revealed as Princess Kate shared a rare insight into her family life.
The Princess of Wales could be heard affectionately calling her six-year-old son “Lou Bug” as the family strolled through a woodland area in Norfolk.
The video, which announced the end of Kate’s chemotherapy treatment, offered a rare glimpse into the Royal Family’s private life.
“Lou Bug, you lead the way!” Kate said to Louis, who confidently walked ahead of his siblings and parents.
This was not the first time the public heard Kate using this sweet moniker for her son.
Last year, during The Big Help Out event in Slough, she was overheard using the same nickname.
At the Slough event in May 2023, Kate encouraged Louis as he shovelled sand into a wheelbarrow, saying: “Well done, good job, Lou-bug.”
Later, whilst toasting marshmallows, she instructed: “Pop that in the fire, Lou-bug.”

The Wales family’s use of nicknames extends beyond Prince Louis.
Kate has been known to call Princess Charlotte “Lottie” and “poppet,” while Prince George has been referred to as “little grape.”
Prince William has also used affectionate monikers for his children.
At the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show, he called Charlotte “Mignonette,” a French word meaning “small, sweet, and delicate.”
