LONDON -- As one of the most adorable royals in all the land, it's only fitting that Prince George should have an equally adorable nickname for his great grandma.

And by his great grandma, we of course mean Queen Elizabeth II.

The Prince's nickname was revealed by the Duchess of Cambridge in a recently shared clip from ITV's upcoming documentary, Our Queen at 90.

Yep, he calls the Queen "Gan Gan." How damn cute is that?

"George is only 2-and-a-half, he calls her Gan Gan," the Duchess says in the clip. 

"She always leaves a little gift or something in their room when we go and stay, and that just shows I think her love for her family."

Our Queen at 90 will be shown on ITV at 8 p.m. on Sunday, March 27, in the run-up to Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday (on April 21).

The clip is the first time the Duchess has been interviewed on television since she and Prince William were engaged.
