Everyone Is Freaking Out Over The Nicknames "Willy" And "Harold," So Here Are 15 Other Celeb Nicknames Only Used By Close Friends And Family
The Guardian got a hold of Prince Harry's memoir and published some of their findings.
One of the things being most talked about is a 2019 physical fight between Harry and William.
Some people are really into that, but for me and others, the MOST interesting thing to come out of his memoir so far is their nicknames for each other.
Harry calls William "Willy," and William calls Harry "Harold."
Just ole' Harold and Willy!
It should be noted that Harry's real name is "Henry" not "Harold."
