Despite only being born one week ago, Prince George already has a loving nickname from his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The royal baby arrived on Monday, July 22, after crowds in London had awaited his birth for weeks. Although his name was not revealed at the time, the palace announced the child's time of birth and weight.

Then, one day after the world had a first glimpse of the royal baby, his name was revealed as George Alexander Louis, making His Royal Highness' title Prince George of Cambridge.

Nevertheless, Kate Middleton and Prince William have reportedly already deemed their firstborn child "Georgie," according to Us Weekly.

Prince George's grandfather Prince Charles said that George was a "very good name" but revealed that the Duke and Duchess would likely call him "Georgie in no time" due to the late Prince George, Duke of Kent also being called Georgie by family members.

Furthermore, during the grandfather's outing at the Whitstable Oyster Festival in Kent, England on Monday, he provided another update on the royal baby, telling an onlooker that his grandson is "very loud," according to Us Weekly.

It was Prince William who initially revealed that the newborn has "a good pair of lungs on him that's for sure."

Meanwhile, first in line to the throne, Prince Charles expressed sheer delight at the arrival of his first grandchild last week.

"Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone's life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time," said the 64-year-old royal. "We are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future."

Prince George is now third in line to the British throne; following his grandfather and Prince William.

Despite his royal heritage, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are "dismissing a lavish christening," according to the Belfast Telegraph. The new parents reportedly prefer to baptize their child at a private chapel in Windsor Castle.
