Sometimes it can feel like a game of Guess Who when reading Prince Harry's new book.
In his highly-anticipated autobiography Spare, the Duke of Sussex uses secret nicknames and codenames when referring to certain people.
Some of them are incredibly obvious, such as Granny for his grandmother, the late Queen, or Meg and Lili for wife Meghan Markle and daughter Lilibet.
However, there are a number of cryptic names that need a bit more knowledge to decipher - and some of them are not very nice.
The Other Woman
Harry doesn't hold back on his dislike for 'the Other Woman'.
Towards the start of the book, Harry explains what life was like after his mother, Princess Diana, died and how his father, King Charles, began to move on.
Harry says he sensed the presence of 'the Other Woman', and that his brother, Prince William, long harboured suspicions about her which confused and tormented him.
"With mummy missing, Pa was free to see the Other Woman openly and as often as he liked," writes Harry.
After using the phrase four times in half a page, Harry finally reveals that 'the Other Woman' is in fact Queen Consort Camilla.
She doesn't get a good assessment in the book, with Harry claiming his "wicked stepmother" would throw people under the bus to sit on the throne and turned his bedroom into her dressing room.
Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber
Harry frequently criticises the actions of the paparazzi in Spare - and has nicknames for two of his most frequent pursuers.
Dubbing them Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber, Harry says he would always pick the two paps out of the crowd and they were the most determined to get photos of him.
Harry recalls one incident while he was leaving a club where they caused a security scare as someone thought they were holding a gun.
His security guard, Billy the Rock, sprang into action - but Harry recognised the culprit.
"Billy the Rock leapt forward, hand on his gun, and nearly shot the two men. But it was just Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber... Billy held him and screamed into his face," writes Harry.
The Bee, The Fly and The Wasp
They sound like they could be a new superhero organisation, but they are in fact a group of powerful advisors to the senior royals.
Harry says they sorted the advisors into zoological categories, with The Bee being codename for the late Queen's private secretary, Sir Edward Young, according to The Times.
The Wasp is believed to be King Charles' private secretary, Clive Alderton, while The Fly is reportedly Prince William's, Simon Case.
In the book, Harry explains that the three "middle-aged white men" who had consolidated power "through a series of bold Machiavellian manoeuvres".
He describes the Bee as oval-faced and fuzzy, the Fly as someone who was "drawn to s***" and said the Wasp would "stab you with his outsized stinger".
Calling them "usurpers", Harry adds: "Deep down, I feared that each man felt himself to be the One True Monarch, that each was taking advantage of a Queen in her nineties, enjoying his influential position while merely appearing to serve."
According to Harry, the Bee was sent to help him and Meghan deal with their issues, but after a meeting where he wrote down meticulous notes they never heard from him again.
Exactly the same thing is alleged to have happened when the Wasp claimed he would help them out.
Pa
Harry doesn't refer to King Charles as father, dad or even daddy.
Instead he uses the affectionate Pa, which is also how Archie refers to his grandfather.
King Charles obviously crops up a lot in the book, with Harry writing about the night his father told him that his mother had died and how he did not hug him.
Harry also speaks about Charles trying to keep peace between his sons and the night he first met Meghan.
Billy the Rock
Frequently mentioned in the book is Billy the Rock.
The private bodyguard looked after Harry for many years and once saved him from Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber.
It's also reported that Bill the Rock stopped a drunken Harry from getting a tattoo during his trip to Las Vegas in 2012.
They are close companions but Harry did once start a fight with Billy when he was upset, but the bodyguard barely reacted.
His actual name is never revealed in Spare.
Willy
One person who doesn't come out of Spare very well is Willy, better known as Prince William.
Harry revealed the nickname he has for his older brother in the book, which he uses throughout.
The heir to the throne is actually only referred to as William on nine occasions, as opposed to the 349 times he is called Willy.
Harry discusses being told by William to pretend he didn't know him at Eton, having a physical altercation at his home and his brother's lack of hair.
Harold
William also has his own special nickname he uses for his brother - Harold.
Meghan and most of Harry's mates call him Haz or even Spike, but William had his own name for his younger sibling.
The irony is that Harry's name isn't even Harry, it's actually Henry.
Aunt Margo
Harry briefly mentions Aunt Margo, who is in fact Princess Margaret, the late Queen's younger sister.
Despite feeling like they could have boded over being a 'spare', the Duke says his great-aunt was almost a "total stranger" to him.
In one hilarious section, Harry describes one Christmas at Sandringham where he received a very strange gift from Aunt Margo.
Margaret bought him a biro pen with a small rubber fish wrapped around it, which he saw as "cold-blooded".
Tiggy
William and Harry's former nanny Alexandra Pettifer, is better known as Tiggy Legge-Bourke.
Tiggy was the boys' favourite nanny and Charles' personal assistant from 1993 to 1999, but Harry does admit that his mother was not a fan.
He believes Diana saw Tiggy as a rival and suspected she was being groomed to be her replacement.
Harry also reveals that Tiggy was one of the loved ones who chastised him for doing the bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021.
Marko
Mark Dyer, known in the book as Marko, was a royal aide and trusted protector of Prince Harry.
Seen by the young prince as a 'second dad', he regularly pops up in stories during Harry's teenage years.
Harry looked up to Marko as a mentor and respected him for being "an extreme ginger and owning it".
King Charles tasked the aide with looking after his youngest son - with Marko taking Harry to Botswana when he was a boy.
The royal household sent Marko to give Harry a telling off when he was drug-taking at Eton - and the prince hilariously revealed the story of how he lost his virginity to an older woman in a field to him.
Gan-Gan
Harry's great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, is referred to as Gan-Gan.
The Duke remembers her growing weak and recalls the moment he discovered the Queen Mother had died in March 2002.
He goes into detail about the "bright and warm" weather at his school in Eton when he took the dreaded "phone call".
But reports from the time say that the prince, who was 17 at the time, wasn't even in the UK and was away skiing in snowy Switzerland with his father and brother.
A statement from the King at the time says he planned to return to the UK as soon as possible - and Harry was photographed returning back a day later.
The nickname went down the generations as William's children all referred to the late Queen as "Gan-Gan".
Henners
When Harry wasn't roaming the school corridors, he was hanging out in the grounds with best pal Henners.
The two chums were actually both called Henry, but Henners got his nickname and he referred to Harry as Haz.
The three van Straubenzee boys – Henry, Thomas and Charlie – were some of Harry's closest childhood friends.
In the book, Harry says Henners was skinny with no muscles and hair that stood on end but he was "all heart".
He recalls eating strawberries in a farm by the school grounds and they were once caught literally red-handed by a teacher due to their crimson palms.
Sadly, Henners passed away in a tragic car accident in 2002 aged 18, a passenger in the car that drove into a tree when leaving a party.
Buckingham and Kensington Palaces have refused to comment on the contents of the book, which hit the shelves on Tuesday.
Spare has been released at all book stores and can be bought online here.
