Britain's Prince Harry calls Queen Elizabeth "granny".
The young royal - who is currently on a tour of New Zealand - took questions from school children during a trip to Stewart Island, with one youngster asking how he refers to his grandmother.
He revealed: "I call her Granny, but I refer to her as the Queen because I'm in the army and she's my boss."
The 30-year-old prince also took other peculiar questions from the 24 children at Halfmoon Bay School - located 30 kilometres south of South Island - including what his favourite meal is.
He replied: "Spaghetti Bolognese. Is that a good answer?"
However, other kids were more interested in his profession as a military helicopter pilot, with one child questioning him on what his favourite thing about the job is.
He answered: "You have a moving office... There's only two of you in the office and no one else can bother you."
Elsewhere during his stay in New Zealand, the prince has enjoyed a pub quiz trivia night, and also come face to face with a 118-year-old reptile.
The prince met the endemic creature - who is coincidentally named Henry, Harry's birth name - at Invercargill Airport, as he continued his journey to Stewart Island.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II attended a VE Day thanksgiving service on Sunday (10.05.15).
The 89-year-old monarch was joined by her husband Prince Philip and her three sons, Princes Charles, Andrew and Edward for the Westminster Abbey ceremony, dedicated to those who brought peace to Europe during World War II.
During the service - which was led by the Dean of Westminster, the Very Rev Dr John Hall - the victory speech delivered by the Queen's father, King George VI was re-read by actor Simon Russell Beale, with one passage remembering "the years of darkness and danger in which the children of our country have grown up".
Elsewhere, Dr John Hall thanked "the valour and bravery of the sailors, soldiers, airmen and civilians who gave all they had" and urged attendees to continue to pray for "lasting peace and prosperity throughout Europe" to ensure such a war never happens again.
Similar wishes were echoed by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, while the Queen - who was wearing a navy blue hat and coat over a floral dress - also listened to prayers recited by young cadets.
The 70th anniversary service was also attended by approximately 1000 veterans and their families, as well as British Prime Minister David Cameron - who gave a reading - and his wife Samantha.

Britain's Prince Harry "would love to have kids right now".
The 30-year-old royal has confessed he is desperate to have children but conceded he needs to find the right person to settle down with to "share the pressure".
He said: "There come times when you think now is the time to settle down, or now is not, whatever way it is but I don't think you can force these things, it will happen when it's going to happen.
"Of course I would love to have kids right now but there's a process that one has to go through and tours like this are great fun, hopefully I'm doing all right by myself, it would be great to have someone else next to me to share the pressure, but you know, time will come and whatever happens, happens."
The news comes just a week after Harry's older brother Prince William welcomed his second child with Duchess Catherine, named Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, and although he has been on a military trip to New Zealand since before the birth, he managed to stay in close contact with his family.
Speaking to Sky News royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills, he said: "I didn't see any coverage at all. He [William] sent me two photos, one before everybody else which was nice, and then another one with her back with George back home, so I'm so looking forward to seeing her, to meeting her and to holding her.
"She was a little bit late, hence I missed her, so she'll have to work on that, but apart from that it's fantastic news for both of them so I'm thrilled."

An Australian student stole a kiss from Prince Harry after she proposed to him.
Victoria McRae, 21, donned a sequin Australian flag dress and a tiara to meet the 30-year-old royal as he visited the Sydney Opera House yesterday (07.05.15).
The pretty blonde - who was carrying a sign asking for Harry's hand in marriage - was thrilled when he stopped and told her he would "think about" her proposal before she lent in and pecked him on the lips.
She recalled: "[He said] 'Can I think about it?'
"Then I said I'd be happy with a kiss.
"He let me kiss him on the cheek but then I went in for it. The rest was history. It was amazing, it's meant to be, there's a lot of chemistry there I'd say."
It isn't the first time Victoria has proposed to the handsome royal.
She also included the words 'last chance' on her poster as she has previously asked to wed the royal twice.
During Prince William's royal tour of Australia last year, she asked the second-in-line to the throne to pass on the question to his younger brother.
She was also stopped by police after renting a kayak and attempting to paddle out to find the prince in the waters of Sydney harbour during his trip in 2013, with 'Marry Me Harry' painted on a bed sheet.
Victoria told MailOnline: "The police had to tow me away. It was very friendly though!"

A pizza has been created in honour of Princess Charlotte.
Restaurant chain Zizzi have paid tribute to the newborn royal - who was born to Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on Saturday (02.05.15) - by designing a pizza depicting the moment she was presented to the world outside of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London.
Zizzi has worked with a celebrity artist to create the dish, which was made using toppings including ham, onions and peppers.
Zizzi's marketing director Jo Fawcett told HELLO!: "It isn't everyday a royal baby is born.
"And that is why here at Zizzi we wanted to capture this historic moment in a unique way to congratulate the royal family."
The iconic image shows Duchess Catherine in a yellow Jenny Peckham dress with her husband Prince William, 32, as they show off Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana just hours after the 33-year-old royal had given birth.
It isn't the first time tribute has been paid to the royal family using food.
Confectionary company Toblerone also created an image of Prince William and his 22-month-old son Prince George using chocolate to mark his first father's day last year.

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge have asked for privacy at their Norfolk home.
The royal couple - who welcomed their daughter Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana into the world on Saturday (02.5.15) - are keen to be left to themselves as they spend time with the newborn and their 22-month-old son Prince George at their expansive property Anmer Hall on Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham Estate.
According to the BBC, letters have been distributed to the media which said the Duke, 32, and his wife, 33, had "a more than reasonable expectation of privacy" after they left Kensington Palace for the country retreat on wednesday (06.05.15).
The letter which is signed by the couple's communications secretary and was issued on behalf of the palace says: "There have in the past been a number of intrusions into the privacy of the royal family which in the main have been as a result of professional photographers using long-distance lenses, not only to observe the royal family, but also to photograph them going about their activities on the estate.
"The warm-hearted and understandable interest in the Royal Family and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge needs to be balanced with their right to private family life - this is especially important for a family with very young children."
The new family of four are expected to spend the summer at the property as Prince William resumes his training with the nearby East Anglian Air Ambulance.

A Japanese zoo has apologised after naming a monkey after Princess Charlotte.
The Mount Takasaki Wild Monkey Park held a vote on the moniker for the baby primate, in keeping with the tradition of letting the public decide on the name for the first Macaque monkey born each year.
While it was announced the Macaque was to be named Charlotte on Wednesday (06.05.15), the zoo has since been forced to apologise after revealing the moniker had had no votes prior to the announcement that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's newborn daughter had been named Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana on Monday (04.05.15), reports MailOnline.
After being flooded with complaints, a zoo official said: "The name was publicly solicited and Charlotte suddenly became the most popular choice with 59 votes out of the total 853 after the British baby princess's name was announced.
"There was no vote for 'Charlotte' before the Monday night announcement."
The park - which is situated in southwestern Oita on Kyushu - are now considering renaming the monkey following the barrage of complaints accusing their actions of being "rude to British people".
The official said: "Since we announced the name we've been receiving calls and emails from people mostly complaining that it is rude to British people to give a monkey the same name as a member of their royal family."

A dog trainer has offered the Duchess of Cambridge tips on how to introduce her newborn Princess Charlotte to the royal family's pup Lupo.
Justin Silver- the author of 'The Language of Dogs' - believes pups can end up feeling isolated when a new addition is brought into the household and claims the Duke and Duchess' black cocker spaniel can be kept happy by following a few simple steps.
Justin said: "Don't wait for the baby to get there to tell the dog not to jump on the bed anymore.
Most of the time, the biggest cause for a dog feeling isolated is if an owner doesn't anticipate all the new rules the dog has to adjust to.
"Show the dog new objects like baby walkers or rattles. If you have a tape recording of a baby crying, that would be excellent. The goal is for the dog to associate these things in a non-threatening way."
Justin also believes it's important to involve the pup in the baby's life and says Duchess Catherine, 33, could take Lupo along when it's time to change Princess Charlotte's nappy or for a simple stroll to help them to bond.
He told PEOPLE: "It bonds the family together. It also allows for exercise. Shared quiet time enhances the bonding process and teaches the dog to be calm around the baby. Make the dog mama's little helper, within reason, of course."
Another member of the royal family who will be getting used to the new addition is Princess Charlotte's 22-month-old brother Prince George.
The young prince was spotted waving to the cameras as he made his way into the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London on Saturday (02.05.14) to visit his new sibling for the first time.
