The report adds Camilla told Lady Gaga that her step-children called her ‘GaGa’ when they met during the 2016 Royal Variety Performance.

Nicknames are common amongst members of the royal family, with many being reported over the years. Meghan Markle previously said that she calls her husband Prince Harry, Haz. Queen Elizabeth’s immediate family called her Lilibet and Prince William would refer to her as ‘Gary’ when he was younger as he couldn’t say ‘grandma’.
The youngest generation of royals also have nicknames for the elders in the family. Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are said to know everything about ‘Granny Diana’ and refer to King Charles as ‘Grandpa Wales’. The nickname Grandpa Wales follows the same format as the late Queen used for her grandad George V, who she referred to as Grandad England.
Prince George also had an adorable nickname for his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, calling her "Gan-Gan”.
