The Duchess of Cambridge has revealed Princess Charlotte's nickname is 'Lottie', after letting the name slip to well-wishers during a visit to Northern Ireland.
Mummy blogger Laura-Ann, 30, from Belfast, took her two-year-old son George to meet Kate and Prince William on their visit to the city's Windsor Park stadium.
Footage of the meeting shows the Duchess speaking to the toddler, and saying: 'Hello - what's your name? Hi George, what a cool name you've got, and you look very smart in your bow tie. It's very nice to meet you.'
Laura-Ann, a part-time estate agent, said after the event: 'So then she asked how old Bertie [her older son] is, and I said he is four and she said "oh he's the same age as Lottie" - she calls her Lottie!
'I wish there was more videos because I can't remember what she said, or I said- she's my idol, I absolutely love her!

Be a lady in red like The Duchess Of Cambridge wearing Carolina Herrera
The Duchess Of Cambridge was a lady in red as she visited Northern Ireland today thanks to her coat by Carolina Herrera.
This bright shade of scarlet always looks great on Kate and we love the nipped in waist, Peter Pan collar and double breasted cut.
In fact, she's worn this very same coat before on both the Royal tour of Canada and a trip to Paris! It's an incredibly timeless piece so we're not surprised Kate has chosen to wear it again.
Kate's coat is sadly not available to buy online but click (right) to shop the designer at NET-A-PORTER. Or why not shop our edit of regal reds below?
We've found similar styles from the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Rosegal that are perfect for giving a nod to Kate's designer original. Plus, you can also snap up her lace-up similar boots by L.K. Bennett!
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent Wednesday and Thursday carrying out a number of engagements in Belfast, Fermanagh and Ballymena.
They showcased their own skills during a kickabout at the stadium, home of the Irish Football Association which runs programmes to encourage young girls to play the sport, and to support clubs dealing with mental health issues

The royals often used nicknames and terms of endearment for one another.
In 2007, Prince William told NBC's Matt Lauer that Princess Diana used to call him 'wombat'.
The Queen, 92, has perhaps the most unlikely name; with Prince William calling her 'Gary' when he couldn't pronounce grandma as a youngster. The hard-to-believe nickname has apparently stuck.
Prince George, it was revealed by his mother, called the Queen 'Gan-Gan' when he struggled to also say the word grandma.
In January Prince George took control of his own nickname, telling a passer-by his name was 'Archie'.
