A royal source has confirmed some shocking news today.
Prince George, who started preschool six weeks ago (a moment for his backpack) has a mind-blowing nickname at school.
According to TIME, the son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, heir to the throne, Prince George is known to his classmates and teachers as… George.
One more time for the cheap seats… they call him by his name.
Louise Livingston, who is director of training at the Maria Montessori Institute, where many of the teachers at George’s school have studied, suggested that the name will likely be written on his coat-and-backpack peg, and his teachers will write it for him on his artwork.
And this was reported as news.
Yes, we know, “he who has not sinned” and all that – and TRUST us we know a slow news day can be soul destroying – but this is pure bold.
It is true that the Royal Family are media gold, people are curious, and we’d follow Prince George into battle at two years of age, no problem.
But this is scraping, clutching, flailing at its worst – whoever wrote it needs a serious dose of calm down.
Please TIME, don’t ruin it for everyone.
