The Untold Story Of Princess Diana's Iconic Nicknames

In 2018, a resurfaced Christmas card written by Princess Diana also confirmed the use of the "Duch" nickname. "Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year and lots of love from the four of us, Duch and Charles," the card read (via her). 

As Marie Claire reports, the Princess of Wales also had an adorable nickname for her eldest son, Prince William. Speaking in 2007 during an interview with NBC, the Duke of Cambridge revealed Diana would often refer to him as "wombat." 

"I can't get rid of it now. It began when I was 2." He continued, "I've been rightfully told because I can't remember back that far, but when we went to Australia with our parents, and the wombat, you know, that's the local animal, so I just basically got called that, not because I look like a wombat, or maybe I do."
