Three small royals, one very public childhood, and a lot of details most fans never clocked.

By the summer of 2018, Prince William and Kate Middleton weren’t just raising future heirs — they were raising three kids under five while the entire world watched. Prince George turned five that July, Princess Charlotte was three, and newborn Prince Louis had arrived on April 23, barely eleven weeks earlier. Nicki Swift’s breakdown of “What Most People Don’t Know About William And Kate’s Kids” digs into the private routines, nicknames, and unexpected commercial power behind the Cambridge trio.

• Kate revealed in a documentary marking Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday that George calls his great-grandmother “Gan-Gan.”
• George’s school, Thomas’s Battersea in South London, serves a gourmet lunch menu far removed from standard cafeteria fare.
• Clothing worn by George and Charlotte routinely sells out worldwide — a phenomenon dubbed the “Prince George effect” and “Princess Charlotte effect.”

Gan-Gan And The Everyday Nicknames

Royal protocol dictates plenty about how the Cambridge children are raised, but it hasn’t stopped George from talking about his great-grandmother like any other kid would talk about a beloved relative. Kate let that detail slip in the documentary produced for the Queen’s 90th birthday, confirming that George refers to Her Majesty simply as “Gan-Gan” — a small, domestic detail that cut through decades of formal titles and ceremony.

Thomas’s Battersea And The Lunch Menu

George’s school, Thomas’s Battersea in South London, doesn’t run on the same tray-service lunch most British schoolchildren know. The private school’s food program leans upscale, offering a rotating gourmet menu rather than the standard institutional fare — one more sign of how differently the young royals’ daily lives are structured even as William and Kate try to keep things grounded.

Define ‘Normal’

William and Kate have made a visible effort to handle the basics themselves — school drop-offs, outdoor play, everyday chores — despite the security detail and royal estates surrounding their children’s lives. It’s a deliberate balancing act: formal duty on one side, an attempt at an ordinary childhood on the other.

The Prince George Effect And Little Trendsetters

Whatever George or Charlotte wears in public tends to disappear from shelves almost immediately, a retail phenomenon well-known enough to have earned its own names — the “Prince George effect” and the “Princess Charlotte effect.” It’s a commercial footprint most adult celebrities would envy, generated entirely by outfits picked out for two children not yet in secondary school.

Big First Impressions And Charlotte In Charge

George’s early overseas appearances gave the world some of the most replayed images of the young Cambridges: his notably grumpy expression landing in New Zealand, and his now-famous 2016 appearance in a bathrobe to greet U.S. President Barack Obama at Kensington Palace. Meanwhile, Charlotte has developed a reputation — noted by both Kate and the Queen — as the feisty one who keeps her older brother in check, alongside ordinary childhood moments like making pancakes or reacting to a thunderstorm.

Even the Queen has reportedly said Charlotte is the one who really runs the household.

None of it changes the basics: George started school at Thomas’s Battersea, Charlotte kept selling out outfits before she could tie her own shoes, and Louis, at eleven weeks old in July 2018, hadn’t yet had his own “effect” moment — but given his siblings’ track record, it was only a matter of time.
