William and Kate nickname baby George PG Tips after teabag brand

Proud royal parents William and Kate have given their new son George an unusual nickname – after a brand of teabags.

Pals started calling Prince George PG, so the couple took the next logical step and dubbed him Tips.

The future king has amazed his parents with his progress ever since his birth on July 22 and has already outgrown his first romper suits.


He weighed 8lb and 6oz at birth, making him the largest royal baby ever, according to a well-placed palace source.

But George is believed to have gained five pounds since then.

So at 13lb, he is already the size of an average three-month-old.

The source added: “He is being fed on demand and he has a very healthy pair of lungs. Very noisy.”

Kate is believed to be breast-feeding her first-born, topping him up around 12 times every 24 hours.

The young royals are planning to take their son to see Prince Philip at Balmoral in the next week or two.

The source added: “They are trying to organise it so that Charles, Camilla and the others are there for a large family photograph.”

So far the only official picture has been the one taken by Kate’s father Michael Middleton in Bucklebury, Berkshire, two weeks ago.

In his first interview since the birth of his son, William chatted about fatherhood calling little George a “rascal”.

And Kate was seen out and about in Anglesey on her first official engagement this week with William.
