- Prince Charles has a new nickname for Camilla
- He called his wife "Mehbooba" at an event
- The royal used the Urdu word in a speech
Prince Charles casually dropped a new nickname for Duchess Camilla at a recent engagement. During a speech on Monday, the royal raised a few eyebrows when he called his wife "Mehbooba."
Mehbooba: Prince Charles's nickname for Camilla explained
Prince Charles used the name at the recent British Asian Trust ceremony. On Twitter, journalist Saima Mohsin pointed out it's actually an Urdu word that means "beloved."
In his speech (video here), Prince Charles said: "I cannot quite believe it is almost two years to the day that both my Mehbooba and myself were able to be with all of you to celebrate the work of the British Asian Trust."
It's unclear, but Prince Charles may have picked it up from a guest or chosen it to endear himself to the attendees. The event celebrated the British Asian Trust.
