Kate, the Princess of Wales has a secret code name that she once accidentally revealed.
The Royal Family, including the late Queen, King Charles and Queen Camilla, are known to use pseudonyms for security reasons and perhaps for a bit of fun too.
In 2010, while Prince William was working as a search and rescue pilot in Wales, Kate let slip one of her ‘secret’ names.
She was shopping for a wetsuit but forgot her purse. When the shop owner, Dave Buckland, asked for her name to reserve the item, she responded: “Mrs Cambridge.”
A friend later told the Mail on Sunday: “He was looking straight at her and actually commented that it was quite an unusual surname.

“He hadn’t a clue who she was. She just smiled and said she’d be back. He hasn’t lived it down since.”
When on holiday, Kate and William reportedly use other secret names. William is known as Danny Collins, while Kate goes by Daphne Clark.
Both names share the initials DC, representing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge titles, the pair’s royal style before they became Prince and Princess of Wales.
Prince George might have tried to keep it hush-hush, but back in 2019, he let slip a cheeky secret while out with his grandma Carole Middleton.
A lady was walking her dog when George came up to say hello to the pup, and she told The Sun all about it.
The woman shared: “I was asked by a police minder not to take a photo of the children, which I didn’t, but George started stroking my dog.
“Just to be friendly I engaged in a bit of small talk and I asked George what his name was, even though obviously I knew it.
“To my astonishment, he said ‘I’m called Archie’ with a big smile on his face. I don’t know why he calls himself Archie but kids often play with their names and I think it’s lovely.”
Marie Claire revealed that this secret nickname was used even before his cousin, Archie, son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, was born.
Plus, the late Queen had her own undercover name – she was ‘Sharon’ among staff and security when they were discussing official stuff, to keep any nosy listeners from hearing her real name.
