Prince Philip's Secret Pet Name for Queen Elizabeth

Here's a hint.

Yes, he called her "Cabbage". It might have originated with the French phrases "mon petit chou" which means "my little cabbage" as well as "my little pastry puff". Isn't this endearing? Read article in Town & Country with more Royal Family links.

The Washington Post has an excellent photo diary of the wonderful Life of Prince Philip with snapshots I've never seen.

I remember the actor portraying Prince Phillip in the movie "The Queen", (with Helen Mirren), calling her "Cabbage". Until now I was not aware that was for real.

lisa -- I will definitely watch The Queen again just to see that detail about Philip calling her Cabbage. It's such an endearing detail about their love story.
