The Unusual Nickname Prince Philip Had For Queen Elizabeth II

April 2024 ยท 1 minute read

The nickname that Prince Philip had for his wife was "Cabbage," as the New York Post reports. It's not clear where Cabbage came from, but one common nickname in French is "mon petit chou," which roughly translates to something like "my little cabbage" or "sweetie." It's also said that Philip also sometimes called his wife "Sausage," as the Mirror notes elsewhere. The tendency to give nicknames seems to run in the royal family. Elizabeth and Philip's grandson, William, King Charles III's eldest son and now the Prince of Wales, reportedly calls his wife, Kate Middleton, "DoD," for "Duchess of Dolittle," while Middleton reportedly calls her husband, the Prince of Wales, "Baldy."

Pet names aside, Philip would never call Elizabeth Cabbage or Sausage in public but instead he would use the typical honorifics "your highness" or "majesty," among others, as mandated by royal etiquette, according to the official Royal website. Queen Elizabeth will be buried on the grounds of Windsor Castle next to her husband, Prince Philip, her mother Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and her father, King George VI (via People).
