Prince Louishas a fun nickname from his mother,Kate Middleton!
The youngest son ofPrince Williamand Princess Kate may have beenabsent from the coronation concertSunday night, but he rejoined his parents and older siblings —Prince George, 9, andPrincess Charlotte, 8 — for hisfirst royal engagementwith the Scouts on Monday, where his mom let slip an adorable moniker.
While toasting marshmallows with the 3rd Upton Scout Group in Slough, the Princess of Wales was caught on video telling her son to discard a stick in the fire.
“Pop that in the fire, Lou Bug,” Katecould be heard saying.

The royals are no strangers to nicknames (Prince Harry’s real name is Henry and Kate’s full name is Catherine), so it’s no surprise that they have other monikers for each other at home.
While it was the first time hearing “Lou Bug,” Kate has called her children sweet nicknames in the past. It’s previously been revealed that the royal momcalls Princess Charlotte “Lottie"and “Poppet.” And during a2018 visit to Leicester, it was revealed that Prince George calls his dad “Pops.”
In another adorable moment when a scout member handedPrince Louisa s’more to eat, the royal mom-of-three reminded the young prince to give his thanks: “What do you say?” she said, to whichPrince Louisresponded, “Thank you.”

“Louis was very enthusiastic and did a good job,” said Anne Edwards, an adult Scout helper who worked with Charlotte and Louis to paint cinder blocks to support wooden planters.
Edwards saidPrince Louis' older sister was there to keep an eye on her sibling the whole way through.
“She was advising him, obviously! ‘Don’t do that, Louis!’ — things like that,” Edwards says, adding that seeing the Wales children so enthusiastic about the effort was lovely.

He was also spotted moving a wheelbarrow with what appeared to be soil in it and helping to shovel out some of its contents, and in several other photos, he and his brother could be seen taking turns on their father’s lap asPrince Williamnavigated a tractor.
“They were very relaxed and joining in, like normal kids. That was what was really nice about it,” the volunteer said.
