Mignonette is diminutive from the French word ‘mignon’, meaning ‘cute’. 

One Twitter user wrote: “Anyone notice right before he asked Charlotte to push him, he called her by a lovely nickname. Someone from KP IG’s (Kensington Palace Instagram’s) comment section suggested William called her “Mignonette” which means “delicate”.”

While another royal fan tweeted: “Mignonette I think – cutie. Not 100 per cent though.”
