Top TV chef Ainsley Harriott inspired Prince George and Princess Charlotte's peculiar nickname for dad Prince William

The royal family has had no lack of nicknames over the years, but Prince George and Princess Charlotte's most recent pet moniker for their father Prince William may be the most peculiar of all. Additionally, top TV chef Ainsley Harriott served as the inspiration for the siblings' unique name for their heir to the throne father. Furthermore, the 65-year-old chef will be back on television on Saturday with Ainsley's Fantastic Flavours on ITV. In addition, speaking exclusively to The Sun, he disclosed how the royal family's upper echelons were compromised by a strange Radio 1 interview with Greg James. Ainsley said: "We did this thing about whether you take a bath or not. What do you do in the bath, and I was like sometimes you have a little wee in the bath. You don't mean to but there's something about that relaxation. We then talked about cooking fish in the bath. Greg asked 'could you cook a fish in the bath?'" "I said 'yeah, if it's a little bit of seabass or plaice or something like that'. You wouldn't want a thick bit of fish because it wouldn't poach."

Also read: Kelly Ripa shared her “borderline shameful” activity with her husband Mark Consuelos "He [Wills] came in to do an interview at the studio, and he called over Greg James and said 'the kids love it. They loved that you were talking about eating fish in the water.'" Then, Ainsley changed his well-known catchphrase for memes, "Why hello there, Jill," which went viral after he used it to introduce a surprise competition winner on live television, to "Why hello there, Will. Poachy, poachy, poachy." He went on: "George and Charlotte now call their dad Poachy. Isn't that sweet and so lovely? [laughs]."
