Kate Middleton, 41, has revealed her adorable nickname for her youngest son, Prince Louis.

The Princess of Wales revealed the sweet name for her five-year-old during a family outing to a local Scout group where she was joined by husband Prince William and her three children; Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The outing to the 3rd Upton Scout Group in Slough was part of King Charles' Big Help Out initiative, and the family got involved by helping the team to renovate their Scout hut.

During the outing, George, Charlotte and Louis helped shovel dirt and load wheelbarrows before enjoying a well-deserved marshmallow toasting.

Earlier in the day, while using the wheelbarrow, the Princess of Wales said: "Well done, good job Lou Bug!”
