As Prince Charles prepares to become a grandfather for the fourth time next Spring, the nickname that Prince George and Princess Charlotte call him has been revealed, and it's the sweetest thing! Royal author and correspondent for the Daily Mail Robert Hardman, who has been speaking with people close to the Prince at Dumfries House, revealed on Saturday that the royal children call Charles 'Grandpa Wales'! What makes this particularly touching is that Queen Elizabeth called George V 'Grandpa England'. In the insightful article, Robert also wrote: "He [Charles] increasingly consults the Duke of Cambridge in all major family decisions; about his hopes that, while his sons have created new charity networks, one of his grandchildren — maybe George — will one day take on the stewardship of his own."

The doting dad-of-two Charles - whose son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announced in October that they were having their first child together - has previously opened up about being a grandfather, saying: "It's a different part of your life. The great thing is to encourage them. Show them things to take their interest. My grandmother did that, she was wonderful." He added: "It is very important to create a bond when they are very young."
