Why the Queen's nickname was 'Gary' - and she had Prince William to thank for it Queen Elizabeth II was a woman of many names, titles and styles.
While her close relatives would bow, curtsey and show respect to the late Queen, Prince William came up with a rather hilarious way to call his grandmother over.
At the time of her passing in 2022, The Queen's official title was: Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
The late Queen, for example, had a handful of nicknames which were used by her nearest and dearest, from Cabbage to to Gan Gan and even Lilibet - but there is one pet name that tops all of these.
While she was just the Queen to many of us in the UK, she was known as ‘Mother of all People’ by the Salish nation in Canada, ‘Paramount Chief’ to many in Fiji, and ‘The White Heron’ by the Maori people of New Zealand.
