But the mother forgot protocol when she used the prince’s nickname – however, he didn’t appear to mind the slip-up.
“I called Will ‘Will,’ and I was like, ‘Ah, sorry,’ and he said, ‘Don’t worry, that’s my name!’ ” Mae-Coleman told reporters.
William previously expressed his lack of fondness for formal interactions.
Those who attended lunch with the royal couple in November at charity Centrepoint were given a laminated protocol card with a quick run-down of how to interact with them. The tips included what to call the pair — “Your Royal Highness” on first greeting, followed by “Sir” or “Ma’am.” The card even shared the correct pronunciation, adding that Kate’s address should rhyme with the word “tram.”

During the royal couple’s visit to the park, William also joked with a fellow father about the struggles of styling their daughters’ hair.
“Never try to do a ponytail! Nightmare,” the prince joked with the member of the Dads 4 Life charity.
William also added that he could do a ponytail on 3-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte but confessed “that’s about it as I don’t have enough hair to practice on!”
