Kate was seen helping the five year old pop the marshmallow between the two biscuits and build a s’more. As she instructed the youngster to put his leftover stick on the campfire she let slip his secret nickname.

In a video taken from the event, the Princess of Wales can be heard saying: “Pop that on the fire Lou–bugs!”. The video was shared across social media, and royal fans were quick to gush over the nickname the royal mum gave to her youngest.

One Instagram user wrote: “this is absolutely adorable!!!!”, while another wrote: “Lou-bugs ..??? That is so sweet!!!!!”. Another fan commented:“Lou-bugs is so cute.”
